Mini Aquarium Heater 25W Small Fish Tank Heater 25 Watt with Free Thermometer Sticker

Have had it plugged in and running for a few days in my 1.5-gallon tank, and it is working great! The red light turns on when heating; green light when it's at temperature (~78° F), which I've been monitoring via a digital thermometer (temperature seems to stay right between 77.5° and 78.5°). I'm not able to adjust the temperature, but 78° is right around the temperature I'll be needing, anyhow. This heater keeps the temperature in the target range, whereas the 10W heater that came with the tank couldn't, as the water was always way too cold previously. The included thermal tape thermometer kind of works, but is not very accurate and it's really hard to discern the colors; it's nice to have, but I'd recommend something else if you need more temperature accuracy than ±5° and you have a larger tank or a colder room. Also, the suction cup fits the heater well and is nice and soft, holding to the plastic tank really well! (I was a little impressed with that, actually.)

Great heater. Bought it in a hurry without much research and I'm really happy with it. I have it in a 5 gallon tank and it keeps it at around 74-78 for the most part. It fits in the back of my tank well so it is concealed, keeps it at an even regular temp even with our house temps fluctuating, and I've had no issues with it. Easy to use just plug and go.

My Betta tank is in my poorly designed bedroom, heating vent at the top of the wall around the corner from the main part of the room so it is always cold in here. I was having a hard time keeping the water temperature at a good level so I ordered this little heater. Within 15 minutes of installing it, the water temperature rose to 78 degrees and is staying there. Very easy to read, when it lights red it is warming the water, when it lights green the water is at the pre-set temperature of 78 degrees so you don't have to worry about adjusting it or turning off/on. Very affordable, small so it fits into a small tank, good quality materials, comes with a temperature strip. Definitely recommend!

Update: I have discovered that because my bedroom(where my 20 gallon tank is located) is usually warmer than the rest of the house it is contributing to heating the tank which is why the 25w is able to heat it. I have one in a 10 gallon in my living room where the temperatures are usually 70-72 and it only gets it to 75° which means the heater is functioning properly as a 10 gallon needs a 50w so I gave the rating an extra star from my original 3/5 since my concern was more of a user error but the suction cup is still trash lol I have one of these heaters in my 20 gallon and it keeps the tank nice and warm. When I first got it did fantastic at keeping the tank at 78° but now it keeps the tank at a consistent 80° which I don’t mind as much since my fish can handle it but my concern is if it’s keeping my 20 gallon at 80° what would it heat a smaller tank to? The suction cup it came with is terrible It kept coming off and floating to the top Thankfully I had some extra suction cups from a different heater that failed on me I would say if you are getting this heater test it without life in your tank first before hand in case anything happens.

This heater is very easy to use—no temperature settings or adjustments needed. Just place it in the tank, plug it in, and it starts working right away. It maintains a consistent preset temperature that’s suitable for tropical fish. It’s been running quietly and steadily with no issues so far. The build quality feels solid, and the indicator light makes it easy to tell when it’s heating. Perfect for anyone who wants a simple, hassle-free heater without worrying about calibration or adjustments. Great option for beginners or anyone who prefers a straightforward setup.

I'm using this for a 3-gallon shrimp tank. It's tiny. It's cute. There is a very belt-and-suspenders approach to being sure this thing is working properly. It lights a little even when it's not heating the water (I expect it's not heating the water when the room is nearly 90 degrees in August). The light is really only visible when the tank is dark and there isn't too much light in the room, but it's a small square by the bottom, just to clearly indicate it is working. I like that assurance. The little thermometer, which is also tiny and out of the way, would be another indicator, again if it weren't August and showing the water temperature in the 80s without the heater. So you can be certain, if there is a problem, you will know. But the ambient room temperature does lead to another point. It's small and I don't think it's that powerful. For me, the room is never going below 70 degrees. I'm in an apartment building with a lot of elderly residents, and the super needs to keep the place warm bordering on hot for them. I need the heater. The water will get too cold for the shrimp without it. But not more than say 10 degrees below their comfort level. If you're thinking a tank in say a garage (I know some people who use that as an office and keep a betta there) and you're prone to reasonably cold winters, then this might not be the thermometer for you. The shrimp seem to think it's a nice platform to sit on. I usually find at least one perched on top. I like especially how deep I can store it and the suction cups keep it firmly in place. If I'm only doing a one gallon water change (they're shrimp -- they have a really low bioload so changing a gallon a week is fine) then I can keep it plugged in while doing the water change and it stays fully submerged the entire time.

im new to these types of set ups but this has never failed to show up this tank heats it like nothing and it cools down as well. I have no worries

Excelente, mi pecera es de un galón y aunque hace bastante frío los peces están a buena temperatura

Probably my fault more than the product's but this heater is only suitable for quite small tanks. It was working hard to keep a 5.5 gallon tank to temperature. I know if it's on more than it's off that it will shorten the life of the heater. It has now found a home in a 2.5 gallon tank with neocaridina shrimp in it. I just didn't know enough when I bought it and thought it would be okay for a larger tank. I have learned to buy more watts than you need as the heater won't have to work so hard.

No sirve la verdad no funciona

Can not adjust temperature. It is preset to 78 farenheat. Automatically shut off qhen it reaches desired temp. Working good
