Water level should not rise above the maximum water line or below the minimum indicated on the glass heater tube. Always maintain the water level in the aquarium to compensate for water loss due to evaporation.
It is recommended to fill the aquarium with water that is close to the desired temperature you are trying to achieve. The aquarium heater must be positioned to allow for free circulation of water around the glass heater tube. Generally, the heater should be placed at the rear of the aquarium, preferably close to a source of water movement to ensure even and thorough distribution of warmed water. Be sure there are no rocks, decorations or gravel obstructions touching the heater to create uneven heat in the glass tube and weaken it.
1) Select the appropriate temperature by adjusting the Temperature Dial to the appropriate degree calibration.
2) Position the heater in the aquarium with the heater mounting bracket attached. Press suction cups firmly against glass to adhere to the aquarium wall. Wait 30 minutes before connecting to the electrical outlet. This allows the heater to adjust to the aquarium water temperature.
3) Note that it may take up to 12 hours for the heater to attain the water temperature you have selected. It is only after this time that the Easy-Set Temperature Dial should be adjusted to achieve a higher or lower temperature, as required.
4) The unit heats only when the pilot light is illuminated. When the pre-selected temperature is reached, the pilot light shuts off. It will light again only when the heater is required to maintain the temperature at the selected level.
5) The temperature should be verified with an accurate thermometer after the heater has reached the desired temperature, before any fish are added to the aquarium, and throughout the life of the aquarium.

I have several Aqua Top heaters, but I had a 50-watt heater that developed a tendency to not shut off. I like Fluval products so bought the 50-watt heater to replace the Aqua Top. The Fluval keeps the water temperature constant, but the temperature does not correspond to the dial setting. The silver color looks nice, but its more noticeable than clear glass. It has a "cool blue" on indicator light but it's so dim that it's hard to see when the aquarium light is on. The heater seems to be ok, but I'm not overly impressed.
The top sticks out so the lid can't be placed on the tank so I'm returning this Otherwise, it looks well made durable. I'd keep it if I had plans for a larger tank. My advice is to check your height and lid placement. It says up to 15 gallons but that is relative to your tank.
Great product, very accurate
I bought this heater for my 29 gallon setup. It had been recommended to me by several people, so I splurged on it. So disappointing! I'd keep turning the temp up and my tank never went above 72. I even adjusted the dial as high as it would go and the temp stayed at 75. Don't waste your money on this heater!
Works as described. I am buying another for my second aquarium.
The best aquarium heater I have purchased. Extremely accurate and the appearance in the aquarium is elegant. In fact, I am purchasing another one to replace a different heater that I purchased that is NOT heating the aquarium sufficiently.
ive had this for two months now and it just up and stopped working on me. could i get a recommendation on a new one?
This is too tall for my tank. I have the 5 gallon Aqua Culture starter kit and it’s much too tall for my tanks water level. I’m sure it would work fine for a taller tank. Definitely going to try to return.
Pretty nice heater. I was sceptical about the glass cover but it does look nicer I think than plain black. The picture does not do it justice. I have it in a 5 gallon nano so no, it does not fit in the filter area if you keep the sponge. But it is fully submersible so you can put it like mine in the tank. The downsize is it is visible, the upside is it has no issue at all keeping temp. The smaller size ones might
This heater works OK. I have the white Edge tank so the silver and black on this heater make it very noticable, and due to it's large size, it's hard to hide. The best way to hide something is to make it blend in. This does not.
