You can just use that reflective bubble wrap type insulation that you can get at a box store. Simple and easy.

As far as heaters, the elements have an "on time" life, if they are any good to begin with, so it's best to get something a bit larger than required so they last longer. It's still going to take the same amount of watts to do the job. I'm gonna try those 1000W bucket heaters from TSC and see how they work.

As far as 80% water change per week, is that in one shot? or continuous throughout the week?
