    Flexwatt taped down with foil tape would work.

    With an RBI probably the 80 watt is best...

    You can send Pro-Products and e-mail with the specs of your room and cage and they'll tell you what size you'll need.

    Is this tank for a BP? If so your going to be heating a tonne of wasted space - plus you will fight with your humidity till the end of time....
