Will the 100 w heater be too hot for a 10 gallon tank?

I'd personally get a smaller one. This article says 100watts is too much for a 10 gallon tank. Here's the reference article - http://www.thatpetplace.com/fish-tank-heaters-article

No, it will work since it shuts off when it gets to the correct temperature. BUT! I do not recommend this brand. After a month mine stopped shutting off, and it boiled my fish. I reccomend spending a little more money and get a better brand

I use the 50watt in my betta tanks. (One gallon) and since its preset it shouldn't be to hot.

I use it with a 10 gallon tank, so I don't know for sure, but I have mine set to 61 degrees. It doesn't need to run long to maintain that temp. It cycles off most of the time, so I would think that it could do that. Just to warn you, you have to get a pump and tubing to get the water to this chiller. I was surprised when I got mine.

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

I'm not sure, I have a 250 watt for 90 gallons which I am using in an outside pond - totally under water. And it's doing great. You really need to call a pet shop for the answer - sorry. Even if the wattage is overkill, it's oK ; it will not come on pass the setting you set. So if you set it on 76 degrees and the water in your tank is 78 degrees it just won't come on.

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.

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

Not a problem... I'm using mine in a 6 gallon acrylic tank and I'm very happy with it. Keeps the tank at 75 in a 60 degree room through the winter. I would recommend this heater you wont be sorry.

I don't know if that is answerable. Would depend on ambient temp and other factors. My guess is 1 or 2 feet max though. The aquarium heater I have in a 40 gallon tank is only 40 watts and it cycles on and off and can raise the temp 20 degrees above ambient I think without being on all the time. So for just 2.5 gallons I wouldn't think you would need very much @ 20 watts per foot.

It'll heat a 5 gallon tank just fine. Be sure to purchase a thermostat, if you don't have one already.

It took mine under 15 minutes to heat my 2.6 gallon tank from 74 to 78 degrees. If I may, I would suggest that you check out a 50 watt heater, the 25 w is meant for 2 to 4 gallon tanks.

I have mine in a 75 gallon and it takes up a lot of corner space. I think for a 10 gallon it would be to big and to powerful.

No. The temp gauge on the actual heater is very unreliable and you should purchase an separate thermometer for the tank.

It would be a very nice light for a 10 gallon. I have 2 of them on my 125g.

Robert, we have two twenties on line with our heater, but I can't think of any reason why you couldn't use a 100# tank

This "tank" is only 2 gallons and the surrounding air in your home should be warm enough for any fish that would be suited for this little tank. Also, it's plastic, a heater would probably damage it...

Yes, you can, all it gonna do heat your water fast. And I like that, I always like high wattage over low wattage doesn't matter tank size, it makes my fish comfortable fast. Imagine you are in a room with size 100 sqft with a room heater for 1000 sqft, your heater gonna make room heat fast and shutdown till temp goes down again.
