you only need about 3-5 watts per gallon here in texas, and its often best to split the wattage across two heaters but most people dont bother to take that precaution. if only using one and its going into a SW tank with rocks, i would recommmend any of the unbreakable Ti types. as far as brands i mainly use eheim/ebo-jager glass types or inline hydor types.75G Standard - High Light Planted Community Fish
28G Aquapod - Medium Light Planted Shrimp & Microrasboras
12G Eclipse - Bonsai Planted Betta & Shrimp
29G Standard - Vivarium w/ Red Devil Crabs
45G Exo-Terra - Terrarium w/ Hermit Crabs (in progress)
33G Cubish - Vivarium w/ D.auratus 'blue & bronze'

Any heater will work 75-100W is all you need. Not sure that the AC had anything to do with it. With the lights, pumps, and etc the tank probably will never get to that low of a temp and it would be a slow decline that they could adjust to anyways. I have a nano tank in my sons room with no heater and the lights are LEDs so no real heat and its still 2 degrees above ambient and the house is set at 71 at night.

I ain't skimping out on these so shoot me a heater that keeps the temp up and perfect for sw
You should try outdoor, it's warmer most of the time. (for you that is)
