How does the heater attach to the tank? Suction cups? By the look of the picture, it looks like it just floats around the tank. Thanks for answers.

There is a suction cup and it stays in one place. No problems with it. Don't need it in the summer though.

It has one suction cup. Ours is leaning to the side after 3 months, but the suction cup definitely keeps it from floating around.

I bought mine about 7 months ago and it came with one suction cup. It keeps it in place nicely.

Suction cup. I put it in a 2.6 gallon Fluval tank in the pump area so you don't see it.

A small suction cup at the top of the heater which for some reason I like alot because I feel like its just easier to install

The thermostat needs to touch the bare metal of the tank the double stick tape that was in the kit didn't work , but I had some double stick foam tape , so used that and it held, guess you could tape it in place also if needed

The tank remains inside the heater at all times. Makes it very easy to move from room to room. They make good heat any time any place.

Is is possible the heating element is not seated properly? I would recommend making sure the heating element is inserted correctly (the upper piece should be sitting flat on the tank) and then place the cover on top. The cover is not tight fitting, but it does meet the top and sit "flat." Thank you.

I am using mine for a turtle. I have a filter in it but have the filter wedged between rocks. I may put heater in later but would have to figure out a different way to hang it. Hope this helps. Really like tank.

From what I understood/remember, you can put it directly into the tank, in the water. (I have mine in a hood) You could also lay in at base behind tank or "rig/tape" to top of tank outside/back perhaps?

the tank stays mounted inside the back of heater and held in place with a bracket.by the way these are great heaters.

It comes with a bracket that hangs on the tank or can be mounted to the wall... mine hangs on the tank, works well.

I don't like slowing down water flow in the tank. The heater should be kept in the main body of the tank. It works best there.

The filter is held on by the supplied suction cups. You will need to an air pump (and related tibing) to 'power' the filter. It's a good unit. I'm pleased with the results in my tank.

The heater comes with a mounting bracket that screws to the wall on then you hang the unit from the two tabs on either side of the bracket. It ends up being fairly flush to the wall

I use a drop in heater that has a round red plastic cage around the element- it floats near the bottom of the bucket. It is temperature specific so it doesn't waste juice. It has worked well.

Mine did not come with suction cups. It came with two metal strips that bend in opposite directions to hold the tank inside the main aquarium. It has a groove on each side that you slip the metal strips down inside to attach the little tank to the main aquarium. But keep the baby tank away from your filter. The filter will suck out the babies.

Mrs. S that's exactly what the tank is... you mount it up higher than the board so that it gives you a gravity fed stream of water. The tubing is just the normal line between you and the tank. I hope that helps clarify.

The two prongs slide under and through the handle of the tote tank. The two prongs will then secure to the top of the tank. I was rather skeptical at first, because I have a 30 gallon tote tank and I thought the weight of the tank when full would be punctured by the two prongs; but I was wrong. The two prongs rested securely on top of the tank, with no problems. It definitely worked out for me this summer at Boyd Lake, Colorado, where I had to tote my waist water. It was definitely worth the investment.

It includes 2 clip-on suction cups that can mount anywhere on the body, and being submersible it can go most anywhere in the tank that has decent flow, as long as it is not in direct contact with something that shouldn't get hot. When on, the heater doesn't get so hot you can't touch it, so there isn't much of an issue with fish or decorations getting burned by it, but it does provide less intense heat and is a little longer than a glass heater of the same wattage, so if in doubt, get the next size up heater. You could easily mount this in a sump or overflow given it's big enough with enough water volume and flow to keep the temp stable and heater fully submerged.
