How do I increase 10 gallon aquarium’s temperature 10 degrees?

Right now the water’s temperature is about 70F/20C. How much wattage does the heater I buy need to be in order to raise it to about 80F/26C?

most for that size tank have a set safe zone ; would keep the water in the safe zone and you wouldn’t be able to raise it higher ; you would have to look for the ones that you can adjust the temperature, more expensive ; they are labeled for the gallon amount
I don’t know the specific wattage but heaters for aquariums usually have the size aquarium it’s for on the box. Just buy one that’s for a 10 G aquarium. They are adjustable so you’ll be able to turn it up as much as you want.
i would not go lower than a 50watt
I have a 100w heater in a 16 gallon tank and it’s fine.
Forget the water heater…..throw some hot water in there….let those fish get rugged!
