Hi Rena. A small heating pad isn't necessarily not enough... it would depend on the depth of the substrate you're using and the ambient temperature of the room. The best way to find out is to drop a thermometer in the tank on top of the heat pad, see if it's reaching the temps you want. If not, then yes, time to upgrade.
