what size aquarium is suitable for a 200 watt?

55 gallons to 90 gallons. It is not suitable for a 10 gallon tank (as one reviewer mentioned). The heater is too long to fit in smaller tanks, and has far more wattage than needed for anything less than a 55 gallon.

I actually love this little tank. I had it as a saltwater pico tank for a while than a treatment tank for freshwater. A little 35 watt heater from Walmart will fit into the return section.

Yes it is good enough for a 200 gal, but if the pond is over loaded with fish you will have to add bio rings to keep the water clear. The bio rings also keeps the box form floating.

This 150 watt will work for your tank. Most sources suggest 3-5watt per gallon. Lights create heat and regular room temp affect the waters average before heating. Mine doesn't come on much in the summer at all. If tank is on an outside wall it will be colder than the middle of your house. Same for if you live in warmer area like Texas vs michigan where it's always colder. I'm using it on a 75gal right now. Will add another in winter if it can't keep up.

I would recommend the AQR9, it is a 25,000 gallon system, that will be plenty for your size pool.

Depends on tank size, mine is over a 20 gallon tall, and is successfully lighting duncans, hammer, and various favia and favites. Also look at the reef breeders nano par 38 lamps, they're not too much more $.

I would go something a little bigger with more surface area at the base. A 20-30 gallon aquarium would work well.

A 150 watt heater should suffice for this size of tank if you are going to keep tropical fish not cool water varieties (such as goldfish). The main thing to remember is to keep a constant temperature and water conditions. I listed below a few good websites for beginners. My advice is to do a lot of research on the fish you want to keep and set the tank up appropriately to the types you want to have. Also remember to cycle your tank before adding any fish and after the tank is up and running do regular water changes and tank maintenance.

For a 125 gal. tank ,you should get the 300 watt, especially if its a glass tank . you can probably get by with the 250 watt size . these heaters are the best made, and keep the temperature near perfect. I don't recommend using two smaller heaters ,one is easier to set and maintain.

Greater heating power for larger masses of water. 200 is probably fine for up to 100 gallon.

According to Eheim, the following heaters should be appropriate:Model 3616 150W heater: 53-79 gallons (US)Model 3617 200W heater: 79-106 gallons (US)If your tank is in a room that gets very cold in the winter, you might want to go with the 200W heater.

I think what you are asking is; Will the CL26BK over heat a two gallon tank? Since a properly placed lamp sits above the tank and not on directly on the top, there shouldn't be much of a heat problem. I would say though that 26 watts of light might be a lot for such a small tank. The 26 watt bulb that comes with the lamp assembly seems to be poor of lifespan, I've gone though several of them and none have lasted more than two months. I have since switched to another brand of aquarium bulb (20 watt) that fits this lamp and have had no trouble so far. In the end I would say the lamp is good, the bulb that comes with it not so much. I would suggest you also look into some of the new LED lamp assemblies for small tanks.

I used a 400 watt MH bulb with the ballast no issues. I don't see why a 200 watt wouldn't work.

Absolutely overkill for a 5 gallon tank. You need a 50watt at most. A 150watt would likely cook the little guppies.

Get the 50W version. My tank is 5 gal and I was recommended 50W's and it works perfectly :)

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.

you would be better off looking at a 25 watt heater the hydor theo is a good option for nano tanks
