I have this image of a tomato plant growing out of the top of a dorm fridge in my head now.

Please make it stop.

Luckily for me, I don't have one laying around anywhere.

More seriously, I was looking at aquarium heaters on Amazon and the Tetra ones had pretty dismal user reviews. Also, I was sort of wondering if more power might be useful since the temps outside will be well below any room temperature that an aquarium might be expected to deal with.

Assuming that one doesn't go crazy with spray foam insulation, which might not be a very good assumption.

Anyway. I'm thinking of picking up one or two of these (150W) or even these (300W) (they are about the same price after shipping). Fully submersible, shatterproof and not damaged by running dry all sound good to me.

Any thoughts?
