How many baseboard heaters can you put on a 2 pole 15 amp breaker?
The question depends entirely on the size of the heaters and the size of the wire used.Select your breaker size and wire gauge according to the wattage. To determine your amperage, divide your power in watts by your voltage. If the voltage is 100 volts and your wattage is 1000 watts, then the amperage draw = 1000 Watts / 100 volts = 10 ampsIf you intend to control a number of heaters, a relay may also be used. The thermostat turns on the relay, the relay controls the heaters. Thermostats are rated for current and voltage. Make sure you are also using a thermostat big enough for your circuit.

How big of breaker do you use for 115 volt?
Depends on the wire size used in the circuit. If you use AWG # 14 wire you must use a 15 amp breaker. If it is wired with AWG # 12 wire then you use a 20 amp breaker. If a AWG # 10 wire is used then a 30 amp breaker is required. The breaker protects the wiring from overheating so you must use the proper size breaker for the wire used.
Is there a main breaker in side the breaker box?
The main breaker kicks off in your electrical box because you are using more electricity than it can handle. If it is set for 100 watts and you are trying to use 125 watts, it will kick off. You can call your electrical company and ask for an electrical audit. There might be things you can do such as not run the washing machine, the dryer, the dishwasher, the stove, the vacuum cleaner, and every other appliance in the house all at once.
How do you find out how big your main breaker box is?
Simple. Your main electrical panel will have a "main breaker". This will be a two pole breaker, usually at the top of the panel. It will have a number on the breaker "handle" such as 150 or 200. This is the maximum number of amps your panel can supply. Most newer homes, 1975 and newer have a 200 amp service.

How many watts should a heater have to heat a 20 gallon tank and what about a 15 or 10 gallon?
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.
