Hey fellas. New guy here. I have been keeping a 46g soft coral reef for quite a few years now, and have been pretty successful with it. A few of the people I work with are getting into freshwater tanks, and when they found out I kept a reef, they suggested setting one up here at work. I thought this http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=15493 3g pico looked pretty cool, but I am unsure about heating it.
The smallest traditional hearter I can find is 10w, which I am afraid might be a bit much. However, the only other option seems to be from Marineland or Hydori, which both offer a smaller 7.5w heater, but they only claim to raise water temps by a few degrees over outside air temp, with no temperature control setting. This will not do, as the temp here in the office fluctuates between 68-75 almost daily in the summer.
Am I out of luck, or is there a way to work around my dilema? Thanks!
