    Light Vs. Heat

    I Got A 5 Gal Tank With 20 Watt Of Light. Got A Sheild Between The Light And The Water. Do Your Think The Heat Of The Light Will Effact The Temputer Of The Water? Do Your Think I Need A Fan For My Light

    5 gallons is pretty small, normally I would say no fan needed, but you may want to keep an eye on it... Just set it up and monitor for a day or 2, you can always add a fan if it needs it, or hang the bulbs over the tank by an 1" or 2...

    I'm 95% sure it will not be an issue though.

    I also have a 5 gallon with pc lighting, i think either 16 or 20 watts.. doesn't affect the water temp at all. Although the plastic top does get a little hot.
    Never argue with an idiot, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
