There is approx 100,000 BTU per gallon of propane. A 100 lb propane tank holds approx 23 useable gallons. So that is 2,300,000 BTU. If the heater ran constantly burning 25,000 per hour that would be 92 hours straight.

How long will 30000 btu heater run on a 23 gallon tank?
The MH80CV, part of the Mr. Heater Contractor Series, is a 30,000-80,000 BTU Propane Convection heater. The MH80CV provides reliable heat for areas up to 1900 sq. feet. It will operate for up to 14 hours on a 20-lb propane tank. The MH80CV features a standing pilot, piezo push-button ignition, and 'insta-lock' chamber for easy assembly. The MH80CV comes ready to use with the included hose and regulator. It operates on a 20-lb or larger propane tank (not included).There are a couple of other factors that may effect the time a 20 pound cylinder will last on a heater. Propane is stored in liquid form in the tank and must evaporate to be used in most heaters. The colder the temperature the propane tank is stored at the lower the pressure is in the tank. As the liquid propane evaporates it cools down the liquid propane still in the tank. As a result at minus -20 you might have a half full twenty pound tank and not have enough pressure to run the heater.

If your tank is too small for a heater it's too small for the Betta. The answer is simple. Get a bigger tank. A male Betta needs a heater, a filter, a light and living plants to be healthy. It grows to about 2 inches long so that means it needs at least 2 gallons of water ie a 3 gallon max capacity tank.
Should you have one or two heaters in your 4ft tank?
Visually it is more appealing to have only one heater. A four foot tank isn't too terribly large, so as long as the heater is placed in an area where the water flows around it, then one heater should be sufficient. Ideally, you could use an in-line heater, if you have a canister filter.

Not sure what you are asking here, broke as in not working? or broke as in pieces of glass are in the tank? If the heater is not working, you need to purchase a new heater.
