Would the heater work with a 1 gallon tank?

I'd be hesitant. 25w is way oversized for a one gallon. marineland makes a good 10w preset that I've used in 2.5's but even then the water was warmer than I expected.

Not for this unit. It has a small water tank that holds a little more than1/4 gallon

I have mine in a 3 gallon tank but I think it would probably work in a 1 gallon. It does not have an on/off switch but I have mine plugged into a timer scheduled to turn on in the evening and off at bedtime.

Yes it will. I bought this for the small tanks used in a my buddy heater. It worked great.

We have two large propane tanks from the gas company. Heater works great in West Virginia. The small ones for a grill will not work

I have mine mounted on a standard 10 gallon tank and it seem to work OK. It's not as tight as I would like but it will work.

Yes it should work but these heaters take additional time to heat the water so the nearer the unit is to the point of use the better

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.

No. You need a bigger stick-on heater for a ten gallon. This one is made for about 1.5-3 gallons

Yes it would work great for a 4 gallon. I purchased this for a 3 gallon tank. I went with this heater as it came highly recommend and it seems like all the other "small" fish tank heaters tend to be break and over heat or short out a lot.

yes - it's a good heater and should work fine - just be careful not to heat the water too much - you can seriously cook the fish - make sure you get one of those thermostats that attach to the outside of the tank -

I can tell you this one worked perfect for my 5-gallon tank: Hydor 25W Submersible Aquarium Heater - Original Theo http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006JLPG8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

No to small it would work but over power the heater. You would need the next size up

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.

Any tank from a 30 lb to a 1000 gal will work. To choose the right size you need to consider how much you will be using this heater, How big the space is to be heated. Your local propane gas company can help you determine which size is best for you.

Yes, it will. It's a little overkill, but it can easily be set up to work with as small a tank as you want.

Any heater designed for <5 gallon tanks will fit in the same chamber designated for the water pump. Having said that, if the overall ambient temperature of the room you're placing the tank in averages around 70 degrees, I wouldn't even bother with a heater because you may experience unwanted algae growth...
