Questions & Answers

9 Customer Questions

Can I use it outdoors for winters in a bird bath to keep the water from freezing. Weather here in Chicago could get quite cold

Answer by Chewy • Dec 10, 2020
Aquatic Flat Heaters provide warmth for small tropical fish and are designed for glass or acrylic desktop aquariums at least 1 gallon in size, but less than 10 gallons. This heater is not intended or designed for use in outdoor bird baths.

Should I get the 7.5 watt or 15 watt for a 3.5 gallon tank?

Answer by Chewy • Mar 11, 2021
The 7.5 W heater works best for 1 to 3-gallon fish tanks and the 15 W is best for 4 to 10-gallon tanks.

Does this heater go under the rocks

Answer by Chewy • Dec 24, 2020
Suction cups are included so you can mount the heater to the bottom or sidewall of the aquarium.

Will this heater work on the outside of the tank or does it have to be submerged.

Answer by Chewy • Apr 27, 2021
This heater is fully submersible and will turn off when removed from the water.

Nice and trim

Hides behind a plant well, doesn't take up much space.

Didn’t Work

This didn’t work at all. I put it in my 5 gal tank and it didn’t heat anything. Tried a different outlet and different placement in the tank.

Over heats tank.

First and foremost, always use a thermometer to keep tabs on your water temp. Heater was fine for months, then overheated my betta tank. There are so few choices
