Where did you put the heater and what kind of heater should I get? Thanks :-)

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...

I got a 50w hydor heater and placed it in the tank. But its only because my betta couldn't swim well with the filter not modified. If you dont lower the water flow you can put in inside where the water pump is

I have a Hydor 25W heater and I have placed it in the same compartment that the pump is in. Works out great.

We put ours in dark place near the heater (weather was cooler then), we saw growth early next morning, where did you store them?

No, Nancy. I too am just a customer that purchased the heater. I would suggest you contact your nearest hardware store or heating technician.Sorry.

Well Ms. Linda C. I dont know what to tell you because I have been using my heater for three years now and I dont have the slightest problem with it. My heater works very well for me. B.K.Delley

I really cannot answer the question, we have had the coldest couple months here in years, My primary heat is all electric heat pump, so I was expecting a huge bill adding the heater also, I ran it quite a few days without turning it off, my bill was lower than I expected it to be, and it is a warmer heat than the heat pump

I have a similar heater. It hangs in the back compartment, no problem. There is no place for it to go. I've had it set up like that for a over a month with no problems. The temp is constant. I wouldn't worry about. Enjoy! The whole family loves the aquarium.

My daughter is using the heater in her living room area. She keeps the heater at least a foot away and does not have things on or around it. She says it has been working well this winter and her electric has not increased that much.

Hi. In all honesty i don't know what heaters to use precisely, because the fish that i get don't really need the hearter. I avoid getting high maintenance fish for this tank. I figure its small and simple. So if i was you, i wouldn't get expensive fish. The fish i have is 1 albino pleco, 5neon barbs, 5zebras skinny fish.Thats it. &the tank looks great. They alive since jan 2014.

1 heater is perfect cause it is a small tank. More then one would just crowd the space

Sorry, I dont have this heater. Yes, I did place the order, however not for my use.

I would contact the Lasko company. Mine has given me zero problems, but there are a lot of safety features on the heater. It will shut itself off if any of these problems arise. Sorry, that's all I can suggest.

I would recommend finding some higher quality heater for your 300gal tank. You could find a 1000watt heater or just run 2 heaters

This is not the greatest sauna. We ended up returning it. There should be a couple screws to put the heater on but even that was awkward. You have to be very careful to keep the heat in as it's not attached to anything.

You can chose to place the heater against the wall of the tank (no cord submersion), or place the heater underneath gravel (cord submerged). I have had the heater at the bottom of my tank for almost a month and have had no problems.

Place it in a central location that would be convenient to heat the whole house but away from thermostat. Order the blower attachment and keep the doors on rooms not in use open only a little ways. My stove heats an area that is 1456 sq. ft. and I very rarely run my furnace even in the winter time. The winter in West Pa was terribly cold last year.

For sure. Just to remind you all, I still love this thing. I thought the heater broke a few months ago, but she worked through it and runs like the first day I got her.
