My house is cold, so I need a heater to maintain about 75-85 degrees F overall in here for my millipede. What heaters would you suggest?

A basic heat rock in your terrarium should supply enough heat to keep it a steady temp of around 80 degrees. You can seal some of the openings so that the heat loss won't be too great that way it will remain in the terrarium. Hope this helps. I do this for my yearling turtles and it has worked very well so far.

Definitely ! I use one just like this in my small livingroom that has a wood floor, and on the 800 watt setting it keeps me warm and comfortable even when the temperatures drop down in the 20's. It will keep the temperature at about 66 to 67 degrees which is just fine for me :) It beats the high electricity bills I get if I were to use the walls heaters my home came with ! Just make sure you set it out in the open so it can work properly, and not right up close to you ! If I need a little extra up close heat I just use my heated electric throw/blanket. When your on a fixed income, this heater will take care of you ! Definitely !

Very happy with the heater. Can set temp very low and the 10' by 16' room in the barn will stay just above freezing. Also if you turn it up it can run you out.

I don't have a heater, but if the temp gauge gets above 90 I put my tank in the basement. I also live in Portland Oregon do it doesn't get that warm or cold here often

The Fluval Edge 25W heater is preset. So as long as the ambient room temperature is 65 degrees or more it should work fine. This heater automatically turns on when it is not 78 degrees in the water and will turn off when it reaches the correct temp. However, if the area you are in is cold, the heater will never reach 78 degrees. I ended up getting an adjustable heater for my tanks because of this problem, a 25W Hydor heater.

I have this heater in a 1.5 gallon tank and it works perfect. I keep a temp. Strip on the outside of my tank to keep track and it's always at 78 which my betta seems to be happy with. I live in Washington and we don't use our heater so the house stays pretty cold.

If it's working there will be no ice in the center. After a heavy snow you may have to remove the build up in the center. It runs on only 100 watts so it won't get supper hot. You can get a much higher wattage heater at a farm supply store but they cost a lot more to run.

It is a good heater and works well in our 150 sq ft room that is insulated. If its real cold where you are it may not work so well in an uninsulated area.

Buy a good heater next time. The one I bought lasted about one year. I heard a lot of stories about these heaters and not good stories either.

We have ours in southern Pennsylvania and let it run non stop all winter long. Some of the winter we had our pond heater plugged in but for most (and -20 windchill nights) we went without the heater. It's solidly built so you should be fine if you just let it run

To add to my previous comment... I finally had to put a 2nd heater in my Fluval Edge 6 gal tank in order to maintain the set temp. The room in which I have my aquarium is on the cooler side and is around 65 F... I really like the design of the Cobalt heater and the ease of setting the temp and am sure that it will work better in warmer months to maintain set temp, but it is unable to keep the tank heated under the circumstances. It does not heat any better than the Fluval 25watt heater that I had been using.

In a poorly insulated older home, it's way more than adequate for a 15 x 15 room when outside temperature is in the 30s or even lower.In a room that is twice that size, it's just not enough at these temperatures. A space heater is a necessity. Overall, in my situation after exactly one year of use, GOSH am I pleased!!

No, it should be fine. These heaters have an adjustable settings. I have a 300 watt for my 90 gallon fish pond and have it set at 80 degrees. It kept the water warm and prevented it from freezing during the winter.

Yes, I would absolutely recommend Mr. Heater. We have a 400 sq ft living room in a drafty, old house. We didn't have to turn it up higher than the first setting and the whole living room was warm and comfortable. Just make sure it is well ventilated.

I would be cautious about that high a heat. I used my heater for a Turtle and it was wonderful. Please consult a dog Doctor to be sure about where to set the thermostat - and God Bless -

Yes you will most likely need to purchase a heater. Google the water requirements for the type of fish you will be keeping. Even if your water is normally warm enough a heater is good as a backup for cold days to make sure it stays even. Fish won't like drastic changes in the temp. I have cichlid and they like the temp 79-82degress f

The Aqueon is been unreliable for temp, I bought a Eheim heater and its holding temp well, for a tank your size the 300w should do the trick, rated for up to 250g
