I have a 10 gal tank with a glass lid that flips up-part glass part plastic. Can I use this with my lid or will it melt the plastic on my lid?

depends on the bulbs. heat lamp black lights will melt it. im using compact florescents that dont produce much heat. i would side on caution and say it would melt it

Uncertain... Heat lamps put out quite a bit of heat...which is usually not very compatable with plastic.Sorry! Hope that helps a little!Suzy Q

The water will touch the plastic lid, it won't touch rubber. As much as I like this product, initially, it broke within a month. I accidentally dropped it and it shattered. If you're not clumsy, this is a good product.

Take a ruler or mesaure tape and measure the length and width which will be the glass lid you need. I currently have a 10 gal so I wouldnt be to answer correctly this [this is how I figured the size I n3eded]

This light will work with or without a glass top. The legs on the end are adjustable, and you can pull them apart until the fit over the black lip of the tank.

The siphon part would work but I don't know how hot of water you want to use since with the plastic.

The unit is designed to work with 3-5 gallon plastic bottles. Glass bottles are not recommended because the material often requires that the neck of the bottle is narrow compared to plastic. This makes it unlikely that the probe will be able to fit into the bottle. However, if the probe fits, it can be used.Yes, the hot tank is stainless steel.

My tank is plastic also. I have mine on the bottom covered in glass marbles. It hasn't done anything to my tank at all.

It looks to be the same as a paint can, only smaller. I would think a glass jar would work... not sure if it would melt plastic.

I wouldn't use it with plastic. It heats up enough to melt ice, so use only metal to be safe.

It will depend more on your lid I believe. This unit has legs that are set on the edge of the tank. If your glass top is fully recessed into the top, so that it is flush with the top of the tank, it should be fine. If there is anything that will get in the way of the legs of this unit, it may not work.

I never had the problem of the top melting. Due to my own fault, my last one cracked, even on the metal diffuser. I got distracted and let it boil dry. Of course, it cracked. I love this model. Same glass as the more expensive ones. I bought a replacement. Much prefer boiling water in glass than metal.

I use the tool to melt crayons.... The tool comes with a variety of tips.... Yes I do believe it can melt a plastic bottle.

No, it will actually melt the bottle. I tried this and ruinef one myself. You have to heat the milk and then pour it in the liner.

Yes. I prefer to use this spout with the glass bottle because I warm whole milk in the microwave...even if its bpa free, I still like to use the glass. (oddly cheaper to just buy the whole cup than just spouts) The collars and venting valve are the same. The trainer cover is different but you can still use the bottle covers.

the bottom part is glass. I don't know about the plastic but it shouldn't matter unless you're using this for hot liquids

Use glass only if you can find one that fits the outer container. I use mine all the time and use the plastic container and works great. If you do use a glass container, guess you could wrap the glass so it fits tightly.

It's plastic... But mine doesn't show any signs of melting. I won't claim to be the most thorough though. So it might melt if you clean too long.
