How many watts should a heater have to heat a 20 gallon tank and what about a 15 or 10 gallon?
Bleachroxs
I would not use a heater of less than 100 watts for anything. The price difference is minimal between 50 watts and 300 watts. Basically it is only the comparative physical size of the tank and the heater that decides how 'big' a heater should be. My usual surmise is "bigger is better" because it will not have to work as hard or as long as a smaller wattage one.

How many watts does it take to run a heat mat?
I don't know what exactly you mean by a "heat mat", but your question is kind of backwards. You don't run an electrical device *with* watts. You run them to *produce* watts (watts of light, watts of heat, watts of sound, etc). I believe the thing you are really asking is how many amps are required to run your device. As an example, consider a "1500 Watt heater" that is made to be plugged into a typical wall outlet in your home. The voltage in the wall is 120V, and the heater will produce 1500 watts of heat when plugged into that 120V. To calculate the amps, you divide the watts by the voltage. 1500W / 120V = 12.5A

How many amps will a 230 vac 3500 watts heater draw?
To calculate the amperage, you can use the formula: Amperage (A) = Watts (W) / Voltage (V). In this case, the heater draws 3500 watts and operates at 230 volts. So, the amperage will be approximately 15.22 amps.
How many watts is required to heat 1 gallon of water from 50 degrees F to 180 degrees F?
"Watt" is a rate of moving energy. The more watts you use, the faster the waterwill heat up. The fewer watts you use, the slower it will heat. If you can affordthe time to wait, then any amount of power will do the job, no matter how small.

How much heat does a 1475 watt element put out?
If you supply it with 1475 Watts (1475 Joules per second) then there will be 1475 Watts of heat. A tiny fraction will be conducted away through the component parts that support the heater and supply the power, so most is put out as radiated or convected heat
