It features precise temperature adjustments and has dry-running protection, which provides control and safety when water levels or low or when other accidents occur. It’s also designed with a glass jacket that increases the heating surface and acts as a heat shield—this not only ensures optimum heat emission, but it also ensures uniform distribution around your underwater buddies’ tank. With zero readjustment required for accurate results, this heater includes a 5.5-foot-long plug-in cable, a double suction cup holder to secure it in place and a control lamp. When the lamp shows red, it means that it is heating up, and when the lamp shows green, it means that the temperature has been reached! This is also great for use with Aquatic Turtles, Aquatic Amphibians, and Invertebrates.

Have always had excellent experiences with Eheim products in the past. The last 3 aquarium heaters that I purchased, only lasted on average 2-3 months. Either the pilot,(on-off) light doesn’t ever come on, when heating, or when the pilot light, stays on, but the heater, never heats up. But, I still keep buying them. When you get a good one, it will last forever!
I struggled for months with the temp. It was up and down all the time. Decided to discard this heater. Purchased a Marineland for half the price and it works perfectly.
I've had the best luck with Eheim aquarium heaters (100-300w) in both Fresh water and Marine Reef setups over the years for this price range. Temperature stability has been great. I like the green and red LED feature that lets you know at a glance that the heater is heating (red) or in Stand-By (green). No lights would be a problem. All heaters fail depending on the environment & maintenance but the Eheim's have lasted the longest for me.
I'm concerned as I have bought more than 2 of these heaters. It appears the stay on the red light most of the time. I imagine x2 heaters pulling 600w is keeping my light bill high. I need to return as they are not doing the job that is needed for my discus tank.
I got this heater for my 20 gallon aquarium and it quickly got the water up to temperature. I like that the knob to adjust the heat settings is on the top and easily accessible. Good product.
Slick design its fully submersible and very accurate temp setting
Red/green light display lets me know temp is accurate. Tropical fish in this 20 gal love it.
Holds the temperature perfectly, love that it is fully submersible and has a dry-run fail safe. Easy to install and set temperature.
Works great in my 55 gallon tank. I love it!!!!!!!!
