Questions & Answers

how do you known it's working ?
Answer by Chewy • Dec 07, 2019
The indicator light will turn on when the heating element is actively heating. A thermometer should be kept on the tank and should be checked at least once a day.
If the water warm already will the red light come on my thermoset says 89.8F will the light still come on?
Answer by Chewy • Aug 04, 2020
The red light will turn on and off as needed to gradually warm the tank. If the water temperature is already warm enough, the light and heater will not turn on. As a precaution, we always recommend using an aquarium thermometer to gauge the temperature of the water and ensure it is being heated correctly.
Can you use this in a tank that has a turtle and snails?
Answer by Chewy • Jun 16, 2020

Love it! No problems.

Works perfectly. Had it almost 2 years. Have it set up in a 40 gal. Wading pool on covered patio. However, when temp dips into 40’s and below we bring our aquatic turtle indoors in a 20 gal aquarium.

Operating red light not mentioned anywhere...

I read all the instructions, wondering what the red light meant in the heater as I plugged it in. It had me perplexed for a LONG time because at some point it turned off completely. I wanted to know what that meant (right away my first though was that it was broken). I looked everywhere and I found the reviews in the Tetrafauna website where people were complaining about how the light was mostly off. I found that the light only turns on, when the heater is actually heating the tank, and that the heat mechanism can be "monitored" with this light (when it's on, it's heating the tank, turns off if heating isn't necessary). I am not too fond of this heater because the water feels a little cold to the touch and this mysterious light really isn't helping. I'm in need of an aquarium thermometer (a lot of aquarium heaters bring a strip thermometer to help you with that). Otherwise, I think I'm happy with the purchase.

Terrible Product

Like all the reviews say, this is a terrible product. Light is on, but tank is not at 78 degrees, more like 60 degrees. Then stops working altogether after a very short time. I have been through many. But, I am unable to find anything else! No to the undertank heaters. Almost all submersible heaters are upright and cannot lay horizontal in a low water tank. Almost all are teeny tiny wattage also, like 5 watts. I have a two 40 gallon tanks, so at least 100 watts/tank is needed. Do not get why other heaters have not been made available. I feel exploited but do not see any alternatives.

I’m So Upset.

I got this item, read the directions, followed them, and it doesn’t work. No red light, and it’s not heating anything.

Keep a spare

These work great. Keep the aquarium at 76. They stop working after 10 months, like clockwork. I always keep a spare and keep an eye on the thermometer sticker on the side of my tank. I am on my fourth one. All have been the same.

Uhmmmmmmmm

So...when i first got it it worked perfectly fine. But then it kept turning off and then completely stopped working the day after. I do not recommend at all.
