heater????

[STsONpERs]

Will i need one on a 45 corner tank?

I will be running a 400 watt 10k or 15k XM bulb, will that heat the water enough, or should i throw a smaller heater in there?

What about when the lights are off?

Get a heater or two in case.

very good point man,

Ill get a smaller heater for the tank...never even thought of that.

Also a buddy of mine took a break from building houses to biuld me a canopy, the top is open with 2 support bars to hold the reflector.

Will the reflector get to hot to be set on wood>?

With the part of the country that you live in I would definetly have a heater in the tank. I'm sure it gets cold there. Of course if the temp. in your house is consistently warm then maybe you can get away without one but is it really worth it?
