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?
How should you care for your reptile during a power outage?
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.
Whay can i do about my hachling iguana over heating
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.
He's a full grown betta fish, I've had him for a little over half a year, adopted him from a friend. He has a filter and a heater in his tank & I try to stick with recommended products. As of the last couple months, his fins are curling up in the back and he will only eat one pellet every other day or so. I had been feeding him three pellets twice daily. Last week I started cleaning his 1 gallon tank twice a week instead of once a week, and am considering upgrading to a 2.5 gallon tank instead.
What is wrong?What do I do? It’s not soft it’s very hard and he has a heat lamp and uvb. Thx
My red cap oranda has swim bladder disease. How can i help it?
I just got this new baby axolotl but it was born in and kept in a higher temp at around 73°F until I got him about less than a week ago. The breeder I got him from said their 2 adults are perfectly healthy at 73°. The water he’s in now stands at about 70-73 and I was thinking about getting a chiller cuz they should be in colder but idk if this would actually be bad cuz he’s only ever lived in warmer? maybe he’s adapted and it’d be bad for him to live in cold? which is rly weird idk
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?
My year old has contracted either Ich or velvet. He is trying to scratch against his tank he has white patches but also when I've shined a light on him It also looks like he could have velvet. When I noticed his lethargy and his behavior I immediately transferred him into a smaller bowl to treat him with betafix (all I have until the pet shop opens covered his bowl to leave him in darkness His appetite is normal. He's bloated and is breathing but his gills I think are swollen. IDontWantHimToDie
