Questions
I have this in a 10 gallon tank. I’m upgrading to the Aqueon 20 gallon long tank. Would this work?
- Hello! The Aqueon Preset Heater 50W is compatible with tanks up tp 20 gallons!
Helpful?
Can you control the heat
- No it is preset to around 80 degreea.
Helpful?
it says the heater can be fully submerged but is it safe for the cord to be in the water ?
- yes.
Helpful?
Will this heater fit in the fluval spec v filter compartment?
- Yes, I have had mine in the slot where the return pump is, It has been there over 1 year and I've had no problems ever. :)
Helpful?
Is my 50w heater only reading 76.5 degrees because I keep my ambient house temp around 68 degrees? Thanks!
- Could have a little to do with it. More likely your heater may not be big enough for your aquarium. You didn't say how big your tank is, so its hard to say.
Helpful?
Help! I just bought this at petco, followed instructions and I noticed white dust coming from the top?? I took it out and rinsed it off and scooped out funk from top of the water.
- Sounds like you got a defective one. I'd suggest exchanging it.
Helpful?
The light on the heater only shows up for a few seconds what should I do to get it to Work?
- The light is only on when the heater is actively heating. If the water is the correct temperature, the heater won’t come on. It only comes on when the water needs to be warmed. Depending on the temperature you’re keep your house, it might not need to come on at all.
Helpful?
The aquarium that I bought has a lid on it and I'm struggling to get the heater cord to sit properly while the lid remains closed. Any advice?
- Maybe make the hole for the cord bigger or use suction cups? Try taking a picture into the store and ask them there.
Helpful?
If Aqueon is aware that "heaters can be tricky" as they responded to a review, then why do they not provide proper troubleshooting and "tricks" in the manual? I've done everything according to the manual PLUS common sense. What's the deal, aqueon?
- Hi there, we apologize that you're having some trouble with our heaters. We're always here to help! Please feel welcome to give us a call at 1-888-255-4527 so we can learn more information.

Would this heater work with a 1.4 gallon betta tank?
- I've used it in my smaller tanks and it works perfect.

Please help!! I have a 5 gallon fish tank starter kit. Water conditioner. Thermometer. And it has a filter. I have bought 3 gold fish all from Walmart.

My autistic 5 yr old is devistaed and I don't know what I could be doing wrong. I did research and research and more research!! Help:(
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.

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 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 heat mat that ranges from 88-90 degrees for my leopard gecko but I know it can get pretty cold in the House can I use a (CHE)? If so how many watts is it recommended so my leopard gecko won’t get burn
Is this tank big enough/small enough to hold goldfish fry (these fish will not be in it we are just cleaning up there other tank)
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 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.
My goldfish has blood in his find. I searched what it could be and found a website that took me it was ammonia poisoning or something and I just needed to clean his tank. He's 8-9 years old and I got him from Mejier. I came home from school today to find him floating on his side. He let's me reach in and grab him and I noticed that his entire back side from his anal fin to tail was losing scales. He is in a 20 gallon tank with another goldfish, 2 plecos, and an albino shark. He has a filter+air
We recently bought a Betta from a chain store pet shop. He is currently in a 10 gallon tank with a heater. He’s been eating and swimming around, acting fine. The first day we had him I noticed this bump. (Didn’t notice in the petstore but hard to see in those cups they keep them in) Here’s a side shot. Looks like one tiny fluid filled bump, size of a scale. Any ideas?
