Questions
Can this be used on a 40 gallon tank?
- It's not powerful enough for that size tank. It's nor even powerful enough for my 28 gallon. I use this for 1 gallon QT tanks.
Helpful?
There seems to be conflicting information, regarding which heater for which size tank, within the descriptions. I have a 3 gallon semi circle tank for my beta. Should I get the 7.5W or the 5W? The house is usually between 68 and 72 °F. Thank you!
- 5W should be fine
Helpful?
i have this heater and was wondering what temperature does this heats to. i have a 2.5 gallon tank with no thermometer and was curious because i don’t see anything about it
- This will heat your tank about 4-5 degrees more than the room temperature.
Helpful?
I have a 1.7 gallon tank and I want to raise a baby betta. I need the water it be around 80-83. My ambient temperature is 69 which size would best fit my tank?
- This heater is better for a 1 gal tank.
Helpful?
How many degrees will it heat up my water? (3.5 gallon)
- Probably not enough. It kept my 1 gal betta bowl at 82 to 85.
Helpful?
I want to install my heater for my 3 gallon betta tank but I was wondering if I could but rocks on top of it?
- This has a suction cup where you can install to the tank wall
Helpful?
I have this heater in a 1 gallon plastic tank, the temperature seems to be hovering right at or slightly over 80 degrees. I don't want to over heat my little betta, can I move the heater to the outside of the tank? Is there another way to lower the temp?
- Couple of thoughts for you. Our smallest tank is 1.5 gallon. Our room temps are 66-68 degrees in winter and 74-78 in summer. If your room temp is around 70-something, your gallon tank should maintain that temp pretty well. We went up to the 1.5 gallon because our location is pretty cool and we wanted to use a heater. We love this heater, by the way. I wouldn't use the heater on the outside-it needs water to function and it will probably burn out. Our bettas have functioned a little better on the cooler side in the past only because it took some patience and experimenting to find the best environment for them. Now it's been several years and we always have happy bettas. Bettas are tough and such a joy! Good luck, I hope this helped.
Helpful?
Can the heater be placed under gravel at the bottom of the tank?
- I think it can be hidden, I never ended up using it.
Helpful?
Can this heater be connected to timer? To have it go on and off every few hours?
- Yes, I believe it could. There is no "on/off" switch, so when it is plugged in and receiving power it heats and when unplugged it does not. Hope this helps!
Helpful?
How do I know it’s on? Is it suppose to vibrate? Make a sound? I can’t tell if it’s working.
- Hi there, this heater will turn on when it is plugged in. There is no indication light. If you have any further questions, please contact our Consumer Care team at 1-888-255-4527.

What is the best way to heat hedgehog cage with lamp?
I think my betta fish went through cold shock and now may have a swim bladder issue. I bought a heater and changed the water. How can I further treat him? He has been eating on and off. He lays sideways at the top of the tank, and I think the bulge is possibly his swim bladder, as seen in the picture, and rapidly floats to the top when swimming. What can I do?
I feel like Ash isn’t getting enough heat. What type of heating should I use?

I live in Hawaii and was told that I didn’t need a heater for my baby beta fish. I still find my fish to be very lethargic and unable to swim properly. What should I do.
I have a leopard gecko and it seems that the temperature in the tank isn't getting to what it needs to be. I have a heating mat and a thermostat and i have the heating mat highest up to 93 degrees. But the air inside on the warm side is only like 79 degrees how do I fix this I know that heating mats are the best for them but it isn't making my tank warm enough. Also, I know that heat lamps aren't the best since they aren't basking animals. So what should I do to make it warmer?
I have a wolf fish that seems to be sick. He is upside down in the tank now for 24 hrs. He is still breathing but seems to bee struggling. I have increased the temp in the tank and added aquarium salt. I have added a bacterial and fungal treatment today into the tank. I have used some moss to prop him up correctly in hopes this will help him. What would u suggest? Please help.
I have a 20 gallon tank for my bearded dragon and I just need to know how many watts of UVB do I need
