Enclosure heating help

[blakehose]

Hi All,

I have just finished my enclosure and it is 5.5ft long 2.5 high and 2ft deep, I am wondering as to what heating ( wattages), and temps etc that i will need for an enclosure this size. It will be housing a murray darling carpet yearling. any help would be appreciated.

cheers

100watt ceramic with a thermostat, you shouldn't have any dramas

i have the same setup in a 1000cm long x 60cm high x 60cm deep and it works great, gets temps up to 36c if i turn the thermostat up full.

keeps the cold end at around 23c but never more than 26c.

cheers
