Can this heater maintain temperature up to 160 degree F if I want to put it in 8400 cubic inches(or 550 sq.inches) tank?

I didn't have it long enough to find out. It started shutting off after two weeks and died. Epic Fail!

Michael, I have unfortunatly purchaed 2 of these heaters. One serviced for 3 seasons and it will not work now. the other developed the same problem in 4 months of regular use. I do not think they will make 140 degrees at any rate.I suggest you up size to another unit to met your needs, cheaper is not always better.The good news is I can work on this type of heater and have positive communication with the Marey tech. support for parts.Ric

First thing is what size tank, and what size heater. If the heater is not large enough for the tank, it's not going to reach temp. If the tank is in a colder room, you may need a larger heater.

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.

According to the Troubleshooting section of the instruction manual, the unit will not operate satisfactorily if the temperature is below 41 F. I would imagine that all higher temps are okay unless the unit overheats in extreme temperatures, but that was not mentioned. I hope this helps. Rx

Not sure since I use the container inside where the temp does not exceed 80 degree. However, the tank is very sturdy and I would be very comfortable using it outdoors in higher temps.

This is a very poor heater.... I would not use it in any tank... You need a heater that you can set to the correct temperature for your tank... This one is a great disappointment. I expected more from tetra

Yes, it could as long as it was in a crawfish type stock pot. It will take a couple of hours to get it up to 160 degrees starting at around 71 degrees.

Yes. The manufacturer says it is well equipped for 80 gallon and smaller water applications. The heater is fully submersible. It it about 10-12 inches in length so ensure that that heater core portion will be able to be submerged to adequately warm the water. You can also set the temp on it as well up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

I have a 30 gallon tank and it maintains 64 degrees like a charm. I would guess that even lower temps are very achievable.

I believe so as if heats my 500 square foot cottage I'm renting in Washington state on the low setting easily. I'm quite sure it can handle a700 square foot basement. Especially if you use the higher setting. The units thermostat is very accurate and will keep the temperature you want. Highly recommended. Hope this helps.

No. If you want temp in your tank to be higher than room temp, use an additional heater.

Ben,The Chiller size depends on the capacity of your aquarium and ambient room temp. Chillers are not rated by output temp. I have a 65g aquarium and with the chiller my tank stays at 77 degrees with room temp of 78. Without the chiller my tank would be at 81. This chiller is great but it is not quite, I hope this helps.

Sure can. Works perfectly. Dono about consistently I only use when water drops below 66 degrees. My 55 gallons in sun room summer now ..will probly b using full time in winter. Dont listen to box directjons. All tanks settings. Environments and treatmsnt are different for all tanks. Know your tank and lighting situation. Before u start talking crap on heaters. Research then buy. Recommended for sure.

I think the best thing to do is to call the manufacturer and ask them that question, but I don't think you would need to since the heater can be kept at the desired room temperature by clicking the dial clockwise and stopping when you hear a click sound.

It will be very hard to mantein 65 degrees on 650 sq. Feet, & if is not on the temp will drop fast. It is good in bathroom or on in smaller rooms. And watch the electric bill. But it is still very good. I love mine
