Heater
Hi
I am planning to do TTM in a 5 gl tank or bucket. I need to purchase heater and found that a 25w heater is good for 5gl. My question is what if I use a 50w heater which is recommended for 8-16 gl tank. Will it can harm the fish or the system Thank you |

The 50w should be fine.

TTM or Tank transfer method is one of the known ways to eliminate ich from a fish. It requires several transfers into new containers every couple days. This is done before putting the fish into your display.
And Yes the heater will be fine, One will run more then the other, but both will work just fine.

The tank transfer method more or less elimitates any of the parasites by simply removing them with the water from my understanding. |

One quick question.
After 12 days, can I transfer the fish to display or keep it quarantine for few more days. Thank you, |

Recommended is 2-4 weeks of observation after ttm before transferring to main tank.
