Hi netters,

Just been reading the FAQ for these groups and something struck me as odd.
In the section titled Starting a new Aquarium, the heater wattage recommended (as a rule
of thumb) is 2.5 watts per gallon.
My question - is this really enough ? I've recently seen 8 watts/gal recommended.

Can anybody clarify ?

Thanks,
Adam..
