It's fine, I use mine in a 55 Gal so you have plenty even if you decide to go to a bigger tank. Enjoy these are the best heaters.

I use this on a 40 gallon tank and it works very well. I believe that the correct size for 40 gallons is their 100Watt unit. I intentionally purchased an over-powered unit because my house occassionally drops to around 60 degrees F when winter weather is severe (like last year's winter). This unit maintained the tank at the set temperature throughout.

This 150 watt will work for your tank. Most sources suggest 3-5watt per gallon. Lights create heat and regular room temp affect the waters average before heating. Mine doesn't come on much in the summer at all. If tank is on an outside wall it will be colder than the middle of your house. Same for if you live in warmer area like Texas vs michigan where it's always colder. I'm using it on a 75gal right now. Will add another in winter if it can't keep up.

That wattage will be sufficient for your aquarium. 200 to250 handles a 55 gallon salt water tank easily.

The Aqueon is been unreliable for temp, I bought a Eheim heater and its holding temp well, for a tank your size the 300w should do the trick, rated for up to 250g

I have a 10 gallon and this one is way big for me. Should work on a 40 gallon without an issue

Depends on where you are located. I'm in NW. Indiana with a pool of 25,000 gal. They recommended a 250,000 btu for my pool but in doing research it was said that you can not buy too small. I installed outdoors and am very happy with the results. I can increase pool temp. by atleast 1 degree an hour and can maintain with a short burst daily. You probably should go with a 400,000 if I were you.

Well it will certainly work but it's overkill. a 40 gallon should only require a 100 - 150 watt model. This one is cheaper so you might as well. That way if you ever upgrade your tank you already have a larger heater.

I got the 300 watt for my 55 gal. seems to do fine. I rather have a higher watt and turn it down lower. Besides after they get old and don't work as well a higher watt seems to do better. I think a 250 would do the job for a 55 gal

These should be sized by how much air you use. This is a small unit sized for one device . For a whole 60gal system I would look at the 1/2" or better

I would go with a 150 watt heater just in case you need more heat to treat a disease later on besides more watts will be able to heat the water faster and maintain the temperature easier where low watt heater will stay on much longer, But it also depends on the temperature you have in the room where the tank is kept.

My tank is a 60 gallon and I have two of these pumps one in each corner. One is a 850 and the other is a 750 and my water movement is good. If yours is a 150 I would absolutely go more than 850.

It probably won't even fit, but even if it does it would overheat one gallon before the thermostat could shut it off. A 25 watt heater is really meant for a 5 gallon tank or better (3-5 watts per gallon is the general rule). Small volumes of water usually don't provide enough water circulation for heater thermostats to function properly.

These heaters are more efficient, which means you need less wattage than other heaters. So for 36 gallon glass tank a 100 or 125 watt heater will be perfect. Do not think more wattage is better it is not, to much wattage will throw off the nice balance that a properly matched wattage to gallon ratio will give you.Not to mention the more wattage the longer and bigger size heater.

I am using 150w for a 40 gal tank (but it has only about 20 gal water in it).

Kellie is correct. I have a 40 gal tank for my RES and I try to keep the temp at 76. I bought the 150W model an it just spends 95% of its time shut off. I am planning on downgrading to a 100 W so that it can spend 90% of its time shut off and still hold the right temp. The other benefit is that the lower wattage ones are shorter -- my turtle loves to squeeze in and pry the heater off the wall so a shorter one will be more difficult.

Sorry also by the way for your 120 gallon tank depends what your keeping. How much flow you want??? 2 jebao 40s or 60s if you want a tsunami. ..these pumps are strong man...

I think that this would be a bit much for a 40 gallon tank. I would go for a lesser model. it works well on my 55 gallon tank but I would not go lower than that

The 750 is a good size for your tank. I have the 1150 for a 75. The key is the position. Experiment with a few to see what your fish like.
