Would This Be A Good Heater For A 10g Tank?

Sure, I like the Won Titanium myself.

I know they've had some trouble with their temperature controllers in the past, but I think it was only with the digital ones. I'm happy with my Won Titanium heat tube, but there's not really much to go wrong with it as it has no thermostat.

That's funny! Good point though, I think PHIL GUY's plans called for a lot of lighting on a very small tank. That should probably take care of his heating needs.

There should be a dual zone ac unit in this house because of that nice shaddy tree over my rooms hehe. Then the mid part of the house to the other side is all open and heats up a lot more.
