Would one of these be good to put under an aquarium for insulation?

It would probably work well for insulation. I would just worry about the weight of the aquarium.

it could be used outside the tank as the LED lighting is low wattage and thus does not need cooling. It would be rather impractical to use this for just lighting as there are much better options for lights that do not have the mass of the air stone. It does look really cool in the water as it lights the air bubbles with a nice blue glow.

Hi Joseph, I haven't tried it under water, but I can't see why it wouldn't, give it a go, the only thing I'd worry about is if it would give off some chemical re-action and effect the fish Why don't you try rocks to hold the tubes down... It's pretty good tape....

Absolutely. My daughter uses it under their Nautilus gym in their garage. Works great.

Should work fine as long as it is a fresh water tank. It doesn't say in the details but it also needs a lid to your tank to keep and moisture off the light

Hey,i think it would work great for that purpose i would try though to make sure the pump is below or lower then the tank,good luck Pat

This could be used inside a tank, as far as I know, as long as it has substrate above and below it. It is slightly different from other heat pads I have seen, in that it does not have a sticky side. I believe this makes it more suitable for the inside of a tank. The pad puts out a steady 100 degrees of heat at all times.

As a temporary fix for a power outage, yes. It's not supposed to be a permanent fixture because it burns up D batteries. I suggest you get an aerator that is designed specifically for an aquarium. Your best bet is to visit your local fish or pet store and see what they have available. Take pictures of the bowl and tank that you are referencing so they can help you out with exactly the size filtration system that you need.

I'm not sure. I bought it for Winter use as its to hot where I live to need one right now. It is fully submersible so you could place it well below the water line.

Yes - mine is used to warm the outside pipes of my Ranai water heater. I then wrapped with insulation and tape. It has worked well this Winter.

Yes. I have it hooked up under foam tube insulation. Keeps my water hose from freezing in the winter. Doesn't really get hot, just slightly above freezing.

Sorry I have not used it for aquariums only grandkids sand box...you might check with a pet store that has fish and ask if it would be safe for your fish

Yes, as long as that is the only heat source. Make sure to have a thermometer in the tank too.

No because a heater would make the water too hot since it is a 1 gallon tank. The fish would be unhealthy.

Sure, but you'll be operating it at capacity and that might lower the life expectancy of the heater. I used two to reduce the load on just one big one and if one does go out, the other can carry the load until I get a new one. My tank is a marine tank, it might not be as big a deal for fresh water. Hope that helped.

Yes, it should be fine buried under the gravel provided you have a thermometer, which you really must have no matter where you place it. Heat rises, so placing it on the bottom probably is the most efficient, meaning it will get the tank as warm as is possible. If it is too warm, raise the heater up nearer the surface and increase or add some water movement. If it's still too warm, you need to put it on a timer, an external thermostat, or purchase a lower wattage heater. The 'water line' indicated on this heater is to insure it is well submerged, not to indicate that any part needs to be above the water. The heater is 100% submersible, it can and should be completely underwater.

Yes. I run all of mine flat across the middle of the bottom and cover it with sand or gravel. That gives the most even temperature in the aquarium. Although i would get a hard plastic one instead of glass due to turtles digging and chance of breaking the glass. If it says submersible it can be horizontal. .
