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.

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
I have a pond in with my water dragon with a activated carbon filter. Is it safe for him to drink? I also used a water conditioner from petco. He is very lethargic and not eating.
hi I bought the imagitarium fresh water uv purified water for my betta,s. Is this good water for them and does it have the nutrients they need? thank you
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.
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?
Can use mineral water for aquarium. My tap water has lot of heavy metals. I have 10 galloon tank with 4 guppy 4 danio 1 silver dollar. 1silver dollar and 1 pleco died bcoz of 2 gold fish earlier in my tank. So i decided to use RO water. Can i use.
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?
My 55 gallon fish tank has hard water how do i clean it out that won't harm fish?
My goldfish appears bloated
I just got a betta fish yesterday. He was fine and swimming an hour ago but now he is at the bottom of the tank just kinda laying there and Hindi g in his cave. He is still alive just lathergic. I think he is dying. We put 8 drops of water conditioner in a two gallon tank. We fed him 2 pellets and 2 blood worms. What’s wrong?
I have recently used medication in my 50 gal freshwater fish tank with one 22 year old comet goldfish in it . the meds cured my fish but must have killed my beneficial Bacteria as now my established tank has been going through another nitrogen cycle. It's been four weeks now the ammonia us back to zero so is nitrite zero BUT my nitrates are now spiked about 80 and the water is cloudy. Did 2 partial water changes over the last 8 days. Will a UV sterilizer help ?? Please advise. Thanks Lina
