Questions
Can I use more than 1 heater at the same time? I have a 20 gallon tank and am not finding a flat heater that is for 20 gallons.....
- Hi there! Yes, you can use more than 1 heater for your aquarium. If you need help figuring out the best combination for your tank feel free to give our team a call at 1-888-255-4527.

How does it work? Does it use batteries? Thank you very much.
- Has a standard American 120volt plug.
Helpful?
Can this stick to the outside of the tank and still heat the water inside slightly?
- no, it has to be immersed in the water to be effective.
Helpful?
Does this have adjustable temperature control, or is it "fixed"
- Fixed - you cannot adjust temp at all. I use it in a tank that holds 5 gallons and it keeps temp at 78-79 degrees
Helpful?
What temperature does this heat the water to? I'm looking for something that will effectively heat my 3.5 gallon tank to somewhere around, if not exactly, 78 degrees.
- 78

I read many reviews about where to place heaters and most of them say don't put them at the bottom under the gravel or substrate. However, yours says it could be placed at the bottom. Can you place them at the bottom of the tank under the substrate?
- It is referring to the bottom below the outtake hose, between the substrate and hose. This is not designed for under substrates( grave). This is in a 5gallon . Thanks and have a Blessed Day.

I recently bought this tank warmer for my fish. Do I need to take it out once my tank is warm or do I just keep it in there?
- Keep it in there to keep the temp regulated
Helpful?
My turtle heater stopped working. Can I use this type of heater at the bottom of the tank until the new one arrives? I have one from an old betta tank.
- if used in a Turtle Tank; the heater must be submersed fully in water; heater cannot be used on land; rocks;
Helpful?
What would the temperature be if I put this in a five gallon tank??
- I have it in a 3G betta tank, never checking the temp. Theoretically, the temp stays locked at 78 degrees. With 5G, It would take longer than my 3G. If the pull up difference is too large (super cold room), it would not be able to pull it up, needing a larger heater (of course). So far, it’s been great. My Nerite snail crawls on it, keeping it clean.
Helpful?
I put the heater in my tank about 12 hours ago and it is still at room temperature (maybe just a little bit above it). Does it just take a long time to heat the tank? I have a 5.5 gallon tank. Or is there something wrong with it?
- I too have that same problem so I just called the company. They told me it could take 13 hours or longer to see a difference in water temp. That's ridiculous does not say that on Petco site or in paperwork now I have to go back to the store again tomorrow don't waste your money

What is the best way to heat hedgehog cage with lamp?
Just wanting to know am I able to use a reptile heat lamp for newborn puppies??
Whay can i do about my hachling iguana over heating
How should you care for your reptile during a power outage?
I am about to get a crested gecko and have done lots of research, but am nervous I'll kill my crestie. You see, lots of people have different opinions about additional lighting. 1 breeder said a heat lamp killed many of his crested geckos, while another breeder said it killed her geckos when they DIDNT have a heat lamp. Should I get a heat lamp? (My tank is a 12 by 12 by 18, of that helps at all) Also, should that size tank be good for 1 crested gecko for his entire life?
What is wrong?What do I do? It’s not soft it’s very hard and he has a heat lamp and uvb. Thx
Hey I have a small floor stand that is 25 1/2 inches in Length and 1 ft in width what is the maximum size tank I should put on it?
Hello, I have a betta and I'm sure he has moderate fin rot. Thing is I have him in a 1.1 bowl because I broke my bigger 2.5 gal tank. Ive been doing water changes and recently bought aquarium salt, bettafix, and Tail and Body Cure from API but I'm not sure how to use it in such a small tank w/o a heater... I know its such a bad environment but its not for long. I just need my betta to last a weak till I get a decent tank. Could you please give me a suggestion. I greatly appreciate your time.
I have a question about our betta fish. He seems to be hanging at the top of the tank, not moving much. We have a heater and the tank is at the right temp. He only started doing this the last couple of days. He isn't really eating or moving around. Just sitting high up at the top of the tank.
Is this a good setup for Nighthawk, the first photo is the over all setup, the second one is the side view and the third is the water and calcium dishes. I use an under tank heater that stays at about 88 degrees Fahrenheit and the vines are fake. He has a warm hide and a cold hide with moss in it that’s i spray down every other day. The little box is another little hide that I can see him in. And the background is tile it paper rolls that were painted(they were left to dry for two weeks)
Hi there. So I am looking into getting a heat dome for my crested gecko. I know they don’t have to have a heat lam but I want him to have a UVB bulb Because it’s good for them. But I am not quite sure that type to get. Any suggestions? I was looking at petco’s tropical combo pack. He lives in a 10 g. With live plant. (I will upgrade when he is bigger) also do you know an age on him? I got him 3 months ago from petsmart. I could tell he was a male a week after I got him. (Pic from yesterday)
I have 2 Mystery Snails and a betta in a 3.5G tank. Tank is filtered and has a heater. One snail has not grown at all while the other has nearly doubled in size. He is lathargic and I rarely see him eat his food or even come out of the shell. His shell has turned to a dull dark brown colour and looks to be cracking a little bit. Does this sound like a water issue? Does he sound sick? What can I do to help him. In the last picture, he is the smaller snail in the front.
