Temps and infrared wattage help, 20 gallon tank
I need to know what wattage I should have to heat my whole tank to the temps they need to be. I plan on buying 2 different lamps/bulbs for the cool and hot sides of the tank. My house is 68°F during the day and around 64°F at night. That is why im thinking I will need a lamp for the cool side of the tank. My question is, what wattage is recommend for both temps of the tank? I will be using infrared bulbs in a 20 gallon tank, Thank you!

I think one heat bulb should be good enough to create a hot spot and raise your ambient temps in a 20g tank. I'd probably go with a 75 watt bulb on a dimmer.

I have 30 gall tank and had to get 100 watt flood blue light to get temps up to 80. Mine is also almost turned up full blast stays around 79-83 in temp . Cover also is block off except around the light
