I use one with my fluval 305 canister, a 85 gallon tank and the standard 3/4 inch ribbed tubing. I recommend the fluval rubber hose adapters for the connections if using the ribbed tubing that does not have rubber ends. if you are using standard smooth tubing it should seal without the adapters.

I would go with at least the 50 watt. Probably the 100 would be better. You can always put it a little bit diagonally in the tank. it is ok to fully submerge even the top part.I would consider going with 2 50watt heaters with one on either end of the tank for a more even heating effect. Plus both heaters would last longer because neither one would have to work as hard.

I used to use one of those over 2 years ago on my 125g- SW tank.It will pump, but it son't be much flow.Try and get the pump as high as you can, on a box, etc., that will help.

The 10 watt is too much for your tank. I had mine in a 3 gal and it was too warm.

I spoke with the company this afternoon and they said that the heater is the best they can find in order to keep the price down. They are open to any suggestions for another heater that is both better and less expensive. They also said that they have since switched manufacturers for their filter pump to Intex. Personally, I have not come across any problems with the heater or pump but I was curious if the company offered other options for me to consider for the future.

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

You need 1 watt per liter. 75 gallons = 283.5 liters, then your best choice must be a 300 watt in-line heater.

I returned a 7.5 watt pad type heater, and the Marina C10 heater, for the Cobalt Aquatics 10-Watt MIni-Therm Electronic Heater. The Cobalt gets better reviews for keeping 2.6 gallon tanks warm in cold rooms. The heater can fit in the filter canister.

I have the 12 gallon and it doesn't have a heater but one can be purchased for either size from Amazon Fluval EDGE 6 Gallon Aquarium - FLUVAL EDGE 25W COMPACT HEATER

i am using mine in an aquatic turtle tank, 55 gallons also, about 1/5 full of water. It does recommend using a ground fault interuptor, but I am not using one. PS, my heaters always get a limescale/gravel build-up because they were being used horizontally in my turtle tanks, but I am told vinegar soaks will break that up easily...damaged many glass heaters trying to get that stuff off...hoping the vinegar trick will work on these.

For a 150 gallon tank. I am assuming that it is fresh water, but either way, I would purchase 2 - 300 watt eheims. If you have returns, I would place one in each. The reason why two is for redundancy if one fails. I have two setup on an Apex system and can keep the temperature constant at +-2 degrees. Also if you have to elevate the temperature of the tank to cure something like ich, having the two heaters will ensure you can take the temperature up.

I am not quite sure. I only used what came with the tank. I do agree that the filter is a little too powerful for this small of a tank. I would just ask that question on google.

Not sure what that means, I have one unit 300 watt on a 125 gal tank and it works just fine

Do some research, but the recommendation fr a 50-75w is ridiculously low. The minimum in a 30g tank would be 100 watts if you're just looking at a few degrees above ambient temperature. If you want to maintain more than five degrees above, then you should go with a 150 watts. Although it is more expensive to do, some people with larger tanks start looking at two smaller heaters, so maybe a 100 on one side and a 50 on the other, or a pair of 100s, so that your tank holds a reasonable temp if one fails and the wider spread of heating can help things even out better.

I have this tank for a betta. The heater I use is a 10-watt Marina compact heater, it is stored in the filter compartment. Marina C10 Compact Heater, 10-Watt

Personally, I don't think this filter is to big for your tank. It will filter 185 gallons per hour as per the literature. You can always go with something smaller, if its more economical. I have the 1200 model which is being run on my 110 gallons tank. Your filter and mine only have one tube which is sucking the dirt from the tank, and one tube that puts back clean water. From my experience, I could probably run 3 of the 1200 filters on my tank with no ill effects. I don't see any problem with your selection. Hope this helps you.

I don't think that you can. I am using it in a 75 gallon tank with a fluval fx5 filter. It is not performing like I had hoped. By the way, it has a very funky smell (new out of the container too).
