150 for 39 gallon? Is this truly submersible it seems the bad reviews are from submersing it?

Mine has been submersed in my 55 gallon tank for almost a year. The water level comes just above the dial and onto the cord. I have not had any issues with it heating and my thermometer and heater settings are dead on. I would buy it again. 300 watt version for my 55.

Yes it is fully submersible. I haven't had mine for too long bit it works great. I have it in a 60 gallon tank and it keeps it at exactly the temp I need

This pump is fully submersible. I have been using it in my sump pit for about 5 weeks and it is working just fine. They do make pedestal style sump pumps whose motors should be kept out of the water, but this one is completely submersible.

I have two, one is exposed to weather. Both have worked flawlessly. I think they are very well made and certainly intended to be mounted outdoors. Submersible, probably not.

If it were a quick submersion I think it would repel the water and survive nicely, but not sure what would happen if it took a long soak. It's pretty sturdy and I am very pleased with it. I think you will love it!

Yes I believe it's flow is too much for a 20 gallon aquarium. I have one on a 160 gal tank and it seems to be okay. They are not designed for that large of a tank but because of the amount of fish I have in it it's good.

I have a 29 gallon and am barely getting by. Soft coral only, Some LPS,no Acans or SPS. I'm selling mine on eBay next week.Customer service is spotty at best.

It should work ok for a 30G tank. I have it on a 27G tank. It's rather weak even with almost no media in the treys. If you have saltwater tank with corals that need some current, this is too week. I know it's rated for much larger tank, but it's grossly overrated. I just got this too:( I'm really regretting it. It's unfortunate, but a powerhead will be needed for me:(Just to be clear, even if you have a fresh water tank, you liken't can't get enough flow to filter the whole tank with this power. Go up a model or 2 and get more power. Other than the lack of power, I do like this unit. I just wish that they have marketed it with the right GPH, and that I have purchased a more powerful one.

I do not believe it is submersible because it is said that the bottom motor needs to stay dry to work properly. If you are looking to filter this water, there are other types of systems that can stay submerged but I do believe that the canister ones do not. Hope this helps!

It will do fine for your 30 gallon now. But this skimmer is only rated for 65 gallons max, and probably not even that. Manufacturers almost always overrate their skimmers.

I have ridden it during rain and wet trails and it works fine. I don't think its submergible though.

It is. Well made and waterproof. You can actually submerge it with no water seeping in. Demonstrations on YouTube have shown this. I recommend the can but the Amazon price is high. You can find local deals better. $15 is a fair price or 2 for $25.

Fully submersible. Ignore the other answer. Mine has been fully under water for over a month and continues to work fine

i think soi'm happy with mine on a 90 gal reef.i did however do some slight mods- an aqualifter pump to enhance the venturi overflow & get rid of bubbles- upgraded the skimmer pump to an ASM G1 (with a slight mod) for greatly improved skimmer action

I am using the 406 on my 60 gallon tank. Prior to that I had a 55 gallon that I was using the 406 on. I like it better than the 306. Some may say is a little overkill but that's how I like it.

you need to find something that is rated i69 for submersion, these are all ip65 rated or less..

Hi there, The tank holds 500 ml of water-that 150 must have been a typo in the description. I can get at least 10 hours of the unit working on the highest level. I would definitely get this model, because cleaning is also a breeze! Hope this helps.

My experience is it must remain submerged. This heater has failed at this point for me anyway. So I would suggest another brand or style. Mine didn't last very long. I am now using an adjustable version. Aquatop GH150 Aquarium Submersible Glass Heater, 150-Watt. And it works great. Lets hope it last longer.
