Hi my mom has a 29gallon tank that she hasn't had up and running for YEARS! So since her birthdays in April I thought, "let me get the supplies, clean it out, get some fish and have it together for her birthday" that way she doesn't have to worry about doing all the nasty work but I need to know what size heater she needs wattage wise. I tried to go to the petshop and ask and he handed me a 250 wattage heater worth $40 bucks, lol.
