Looking for a heater recommendation for a small 10 gallon frag tank. The current heater - 50w - is too small and results in temperature fluctuations overnight when my house cools - from 80 to about 76.

It’s an AIO tank, so space is tight in the back. Need a small but powerful heater to better maintain the temperature. Any recommendations for something that fits that bill?

I always used the Cobalt Aquatics Neo-Therm heaters when space is tight....they are small and thin.

50 watts should be more than enough unless your house is really cool at night. Is the heater receiving enough flow? Is the heater on continuously?
