    Hi, I have a 20 Gal aquarium that does not seem to get hot enough to keep my Blaptica dubia feeder roaches. I have a Zoo Med uth right now for a 10-20 gal but it is not hot enough. What would be a good way to get the temps i need, 80 to 95 degree at a reasonable cost. Room stays about 60. Regards

    Recomendation for a Newbie?

    Hi, Another good idea to remember is if it was bought from a store is not to leave it in sphagnum. 50% peat moss and 50% white silica sand. If you cant find white sand, play-box sand is good wash good to get the dirt and salt out. pumice and pearlite work good to. Regards
