    I recently got a Hydor Theo 50w heater for my 10 gallon betta tank. The tanks temperature ranges from 76 - 81 degrees Fahrenheit with the Hydor. The old heater stayed around 77.2-77.7 degrees (It was a 50w Tetra heater). The room the tank is in ranges from 67-74 degrees. I am wondering if I got...

    HI folks I have been reading about small tank heaters, and just can't settle on one to try. It doesn't help that I keep reading reviews for the few small heaters out there and some have real nightmare reviews! Others, usually ones involving a larger tank than the heater is rated for, are OK...

    Hello! I have just began to cycle a new tank recently. It is 3 gallons and made of glass and I plan to put a single betta in there and have it planted! I’ve just purchased a heater, and i’m kind of anxious about it catching fire or exploding in the middle of the night…maybe i am just a chronic...

    Hello again, Petrie's mom here. The temperatures in AZ are rapidly changing and I'm trying to combat all the natural elements that would bug my betta LOL. He's sitting in a 1.5 gallon tank with real plants and a new addition of a flat heater (mini 15 W) right beside my window for natural light...

    Hi, I'm just starting out (really early in the process - research lol) and I'm looking for suggestions on a good heater. My house had a 5 gallon tank that comes with lights and a filter (this one: Top Fin® Split Bowfront Aquarium - 5 Gallon | fish Starter Kits | PetSmart) laying around so I've...

    I found a 5.5 gallon in my garage, and I want to move my Betta into it, since he's in a cramped 2.5 gallon tank without a filter, and I think he's fin biting (Woke up today with a massive cut in one of his fins! I really hope it's just fin biting) I'm trying to decide on a heater and filter...

    I recently switched my betta from a glass tank to an acrylic one (I did this because the glass one was more of a bowl shape, so there wasn't much space for plants and stuff on the ground, and the acrylic tank came with a filter which his old tank was lacking) However, since acrylic holds heat...

    My boy has been spending a LOT of time during the day wrapping himself around his Hydor Theo heater, flaring at his HOB filter, letting the filter water push him away, then doing it all over again😂 Anyone else ever have issues with their bettas doing this? It’s a pretty new thing..sometimes we...

    Currently, I'm treating my Betta for ich in a 1-gallon bowl with aquarium salt and a very small amount of paraguard and I'm planning on doing somewhat daily water changes (I'm very busy with work and school so some days I'm not even home from 6am-10pm). He doesn't seem too stressed in the...

    I just bought the Hydor Theo heater and I’m having trouble deciding where to place it🤔 I’m in between two spots right now, in the back corner kind of by the filter outflow (where it is located in the photos below) and in the center of the back of the tank where his old heater was, right next to...

    hey!! I am looking into buying a new heater for my 5.5gal tank. I have made a post about this before, but am wondering if anyone has used the Cobalt Aquatics Flat Neo-Therm heater. Cobalt Aquatics Flat Neo-Therm Heater with Adjustable Thermostat (Fully-Submersible, Shatterproof Design) from...

    After about 2 days of research / reading every review I can find for various heaters. I recently purchased the 50w Eheim heater for my 6 gallon tank. I used to use 25w Hydors (3), all three malfunctioned by overheating the tank (I feel very fortunate not to have lost a fish from this and have...

    Hello! I am currently keeping my betta in a 3 gallon (Will be upgrading within the next few months) And I am using an 7.5 Watt Aqueon Aquatic Flat Heater. I am also using a basic $1 temperature strip on the outside of the tank. A few hours ago it read 78 Degrees F but now its climbing to 82...

    Hello! I just now noticed that there is a problem with my aquariums temp. Aquarium is 6gal. Heater is Tetra Tec HT25 (meant for 2,6gal - 6,6gal). Heater is working, it is warm(currently set to 28°C or 82°F), aquarium is barely at 23°C or 73°F. It has been at that temp for last few days atleast...

    my betta gets really aggressive with his water heater. I first put it in there in the summer to keep the temperature consistent and noticed he was nibbling and ripping off tiny chunks so I took it out. Now that it’s winter I put it back in but I think he’s getting sick from attacking and...

    Hi everyone! I have gotten one suggestion for a heater already, but I'd love some more to look into :) I currently have this one Top Fin® Betta Aquarium Heater | fish Heaters | PetSmart and it works, it just is kinda difficult to keep consistent, plus I just switched thermometers and it is...

    I installed my heater earlier and I have two thermometers (just in case) in a 10g tank with Toby the Koi Betta. I am using a 50w heater set at 78 and the thermometers are saying the temp of my room (66-68). The heater has been in for about 30 minutes and nothing has changed, does anybody know if...

    So I made the 2 hour journey to the nearest pet store to get everything to set up my 10 gallon tank. And I did get everything except suction cups for my heater.... Is there any alternative?? Tape? I have no idea but I have a betta in a fishbowl waiting for me to get my tank set up and I just...

    Hi all, I bought a 50 watt Aqueon Heater for my 5 gallon aquarium since heater options were limited. I opened the box and there was no instructions, so what I did was, put the heater in the water (without it plugged in) and let it sit in the water for 25 minutes, I than plugged it in but the...
