can i use this in a tank in a bed room and can it go on a 30 gal tank? how much room will it take up?

It's small enough to fit in the back of my 29 biocube... should work great in a bedroom, however it does make a slight humming noise, but it's not loud...

I suppose it could go in your bedroom. I'm not sure how much it matters what room of your home it goes in. Yes it can handle a 39 gallon tank but i do not recommend this product because it didn't work very well. I would buy something a little better and save yourself the headache. Hydor is a good brand. Had good luck with them

i use it in a bedroom. the installation isnt that big, may interfere with youre aquarium top. make a niche and hide with live rock. mine is in a 30 gal and has been running smoothly for months. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIBC8mhIYJY this vid can let you determine how big the skimmer actually is

I am using it in a 50 gallon tank. I think the next size would be best if going any larger than this.

Yes. We have our heater installed on a 30 gallon tank and works just fine. A GREAT HEATER

It's for a 12 x 30 tank, but the measurements say 30.5 x 13.1 so it has a little wider and long to fit ontop of your tank! If it was the same exact measuremnts it wouldn't fit on it right. I bought this for my 29 gallon aquarium

It should be ok..that filter is up to 40g.... That thing should keep your tank pretty clean. Plus you can adjust the flow so your not creating a whirlpool inside the small tank. IMO I'd upgrade to at least a 20 or 30 gallon... Hope I helped!!

Yes. The wand and nozzle is about a foot (or more) long and should be fine for your 30 gallon tank. My tank is only about a foot deep and there's plenty of wand that never gets wet when I clean my gravel.

Sorry. I don't understand the question. It works perfect in my tank of 40 gallon. It shouldn't have air coming out.

Easily, I have it in a 60 gallon. You only need some air not a huge amount.

The rating of the tank, by the manufacturer, should be in the 30-40 gallon range. This info should be on the manufacturer's web site.

in my opinion it has no area effectiveness. I used it standard size bedroom for some 10 hours with no difference between the bedroom and the hallway. there was barely any water in the tank after two attempts to gauge it's worth. it is now back in the box. the intake and output fans are weak if it can't bring air in it can't remove humidity.

It might be adequate for an aquatic turtle. I have one turtle in a 35 gallon tank, but it is not filled to capacity and so the heater works just fine. I assume you don't fill the 40 gallon tank to capacity, but if you have more than 30 gallons in the tank, the heater might might not be adequate.

I have it in a 30 gal classic rectangular tank and all my reef inhabitants seems to be happy with it. It is installed inside of the tank and submerges about 90%. It might look big in 12 gal, as it probably occupies about a 1/2 gal of aquarium space.

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 think what you are asking is; Will the CL26BK over heat a two gallon tank? Since a properly placed lamp sits above the tank and not on directly on the top, there shouldn't be much of a heat problem. I would say though that 26 watts of light might be a lot for such a small tank. The 26 watt bulb that comes with the lamp assembly seems to be poor of lifespan, I've gone though several of them and none have lasted more than two months. I have since switched to another brand of aquarium bulb (20 watt) that fits this lamp and have had no trouble so far. In the end I would say the lamp is good, the bulb that comes with it not so much. I would suggest you also look into some of the new LED lamp assemblies for small tanks.

Move your tank ... room is too hot .Over kill for that small of a tank ..Put it in cooler room and put a small cooling fan on it.

It's meant for a smaller tank. I found it made the water too warm and since you can not adjust it, I just took it out. I would try it for a ten gallon but keep an eye on the temp.

I am using it in a 75 gallon tank with cichlids. I'm very happy with it. I don't know about your situation. Good luck
