I have a heater pad under my 10 gallon aquarium and it doesn't quite keep it warm enought. Should i get a heat lamp? And if i do, suggestions as to what kind i should buy would be very helpful

Thankyou

I got two 8.5" clamp lamps from Petdiscounters.com for 11.99 each and use a blue heat bulb for day, and a nightglo bulb at night. Play around with wattage to find one that keeps the temp. stable and correct both day and night.
