While the heater manufacturers have all kinds of charts and graphs, as a pool service provider in the desert southwest U.S., I can tell you that you want at LEAST 300,000 BTU's, depending on your local climate. In colder areas where you need to heat the water from a lower starting temperature, I would recommend 400,000 BTU's (about as big as they get for residential pools). The initial expense is slightly higher for the larger units, however, they tend to heat the water with more fuel efficiency as they make the water hotter, faster, thereby requiring the unit to burn fuel for less time.
We have a 30,000 gallon pool that we heated with a Paypak RP2100 for 11 years before it needed replacing. We live in central Maryland and it sits out in the elements year round and we have been very pleased with it.

Depends on the BTUs of the heater.
guppys are tropical fish. they require a heater, and 1 gallon is to small for a heater
20 - 33 gallon
A gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds. So, a 50 gallon water heater full of water would weigh approximately 417 pounds.
It is not the square feet that determines the size water heater you need it is the demand. The more people who live in the home the higher the demand on the water heater to produce enough hot water. 1-3 people requires a 40 gallon water heater 4-6 people requires a 50 gallon water heater Of course you can make do with a 40 gallon water heater with a family of 4 or more but you will at times run out of hot water. Even if there are only 1 or 2 living in the home do not buy a 30 gallon water heater. You save very little money and may run out of hot water. But at least a 40 gallon.

it all depends on the amount of water you can usually get by with a 10 gallon heater
One can find instructions for a 40 gallon water heater for installation from the 'American Water Heater' website where it can be viewed in PDF format. One can also find instructions on the 'About' website.
