Honestly, you can use this. It doesn't get that hot and I've had my on constantly for about 3 months and still running string for my chameleon tank. It should work fine if you want to just heat it a little bit.

I have not used this for water tanks,I don't see how it would crack your tank it would warm the water,not sure your turtle would like that. Read as much info they have it should tell you if you can't use it under a tank with water,I checked couldn't find anything on that.

This one is NOT recommended for water tanks. I believe ZOO MED does make one specifically for turtles. They are great to deal with, call them directly and they can answer any questions. I have used them for years and always found them great to deal with. Hope this helps.

Oh, mine also came badly broken. But I bought the same one from a store locally. I would not recommend ordering an aquarium if at all possible. I ordered 3 from 3 different places, all came broken.

Not one problem. Your tank was not installed properly and you should discontinue use until the tank is properly secured!

If it's brand new, it may not be broken. You likely have too much water in the basin. Remove the tank, empty the basin, replace the tank, try again.

I have a turtle and his shell could bang the glass tube and maybe break it, I only use what is recommended.

No it can't, it is a reptile tank I got it for my bearded dragon a while back. It's not built to hold water, you should look into aquarium tanks.

Not 100% sure about being water tight. Our local pet store did say it can be used for frogs , turtles, and lizards that need a moist environment.

If it is not on there just right it will not suck the water up. Take it off and try putting it on again. It makes a different noise if the tank is hooked up correctly. Just make sure it is on there good and snapped in tightly. Also if the top of the tank isn't snapped on there correctly it wont work right. Put it on from the front first and you should hear it snap into place Hope this helps, I love mine!

Yes it would and may crack your tank, if someone or something puts any try of pressure on it, so i will recommend that you get a piece of plywood at lease quarter inch thick under your tank and thin the stand under the plywood, ok.

It's not fragile. The plastic base might come off if a big fish intentionally tries to destroy it. A turtle, on the other hand... Not sure. It gets knocked around a little in my 37 gal, but a turtle is a different story. It's cheap, so order two, and try to break one with a pair of pliers. If it breaks, send the other one back, and consider it a cheap lesson learned.

Sure but might be overkill for a few turtles. I would say that if it is a large tank with a lot of turtles it would do really well. However if it is a smaller tank with just a few you are pushing a lot of water without cause......

I bought this for a friend that has a baby turtle in a small aquarium. He runs about 3-4 inches of water in it, with rocks for the turtle. It works well for him.
