im wondering if its digital reading or not and will it work with Hydor 75w Hydrokable Substrate Heater, 25' - for Aquariums 32-53 gal

This particular model doesn't have a digital display on it, but I believe Hydor does make one that has it for a little more money. Personally I haven't had any issues using this one without the display. This heater does work with all the Hydor cables.

I know I'm a little late to the game, but you can use any external thermostat with these cables. Hydor's website obviously "recommends" using theirs. Also, if you have a 300W thermostat you can control several 75W Hydrokables with it (using a splitter of course). Hope this helps.

It is not digital reading. It does work with the hydor 75w hydrokable substrate heater.

I'm using it in a 3 gallon Tetra Cube. As long as it's submerged horizontal or vertically, and not touching substrate, it'll work. The heater is 6.5" tall x 2" wide. I like it because, it heats to a set temperature; if the tank is too warm, it shuts off. I've been using it for a month, checking with a thermometer, and it's been spot on 80, as set for my Betta.

I use a photo thermometer and it has always matched so far. Although if this thermometer is in direct sunlight it will give a false high reading so make sure that you place it in a shaded area of your aquarium.

I took a look at my Dork Food specifications and it states that my unit is 120V AC both input output and with max 15 Amps. As an aside it works like a charm. If you decide on this unit I would suggest you get the largest slow cooker you can find. That was my only draw back. You will find that you will want to do larger items or multiple items and you just won't have the capacity. If you still are interested in the Dork use a small aquarium vibrator pump and air stone to keep the water circulating. I finally went to the PolyScience circulator and heat which is a quantum leap and just about perfect. $240 discounted.

Hi -- I have a 2 gallon tank and it is working good. I recommend buying a cheap additional water thermometer and then setting the temperature on the heater to be slightly lower than the desired. For example I set my heater to 74 to get an actual temperature of 80F (as measured by the second thermometer).

Yes it is. I bought this for my 55 gallon aquarium and have had no problems with it at all. I also bought a new digital thermometer and it stays perfect temperature at all times.

I suppose it could be as it is sealed but the digital readout would need to be positioned carefully so you could see it without too much distortion through the water. That is if you need to see it at all - I have a separate highly accurate temp meter in my tank for monitoring and the D1HT keeps the water spot on for temperature (+- 1-2 degrees).

I use two of these in a1500 gal tank. We are in northern Ga so far is has maintained this tank to 70° I bought a thermostat to control temp works well does not run all the time

yes, I very much like this one; Hydor 7.5w Slim Heater for Bettas and Bowls, 2 to 5 gal It works well without cooking your fish.

I have this heater in a 1.5 gallon tank and it works perfect. I keep a temp. Strip on the outside of my tank to keep track and it's always at 78 which my betta seems to be happy with. I live in Washington and we don't use our heater so the house stays pretty cold.

Well I have a heater in my aquarium which generally maintains the same temp, and I wouldn't know without this nifty thermometer. The way it works is, well it reminds me of a mood ring, it is green on which ever temperature the water inside the tank is. The square next to it is orange, so that tells you how close the temp. is to fluxuating. If my house gets too cold, I will put a cup of warmer water in, and the green thermometer square switches to a different number. Its quite easy to read for me, and after about 5 months, I still see no problems. I hope this helps! -Eva

I am not really familiar with the procedure for testing aquarium lights, so this is hard to answer. The bottom line is that this meter will measure for comparison light readings, based upon differences in the source of the light. I hope this response is useful.

Hello BettaGal....We love our Aqueon Kit-,Betta Falls and have "enhanced" it with the Aqueon lights.HEATER - Also purchased: THE HYDOR 7.5 watt SLIM HEATER on AMAZON for $8.24. Works beautifully. We also have an internal thermometer to regulate the heating.I hope that this info arrives in a timely fashion and is helpful too.

It should work if you have enough room in your tank. You need to know the amperage and voltage that your electronic system will take.

yes, I very much like this one; http://www.amazon.com/Hydor-7-5w-Heater-Bettas-Bowls/dp/B006JVQ67K/ref=sr_1_6?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1387438886&sr=1-6&keywords=aquarium+heater It works well without cooking your fish.

I wouldn't recommend it, I used it for a 3 gal tank and it heated it to almost 78-80 degrees sometimes. Luckily I had a thermometer on the outside side of the tank so I just unplugged it if it got too warm. I just had one Beta fish in the tank, if you have any other fish other than a goldfish or a guppy I would definitely try to get a bigger tank so you can put a heater in it :) Hope this helps!

I think it will not work because it will switch ON the load (heater) when its temp reading is too low; you want something that will switch on the load (cooler) when the temp reading is too high.
