What kind of heater?

I just set this up today. I wanted a heater with a thermostat and took a chance with the Hydor 25W Submersible Aquarium Heater - Original Theo. It just fits inside the pump area. Doesn't impede on the air hose or electrical wires.

I use the Cobalt Aquatics 10-Watt MIni-Therm. Bought it right here on Amazon. It's slimmer than the other brands and fits very well. Just have to watch it on very hot days, as others have posted. Keeps my tank a cozy 78-80 degrees.

Any of the small 7.5 or 8 watt "Betta" heaters work well hidden in the pump area of the tank. Be aware these heaters are always ON, they do not have thermostats, so you must keep a thermometer in the tank to monitor the temp. On very warm days the tank may get too hot unless you unplug these. You can purchase a seperate "heater controller" to act as a thermostat, but they are a bit pricey. Most heaters w/thermostats are too bulky to fit in the filter compartment.

I have been using a cheap $10 tetra heater. Have had no problems for 6 months so far. But the led lighta on my tank are quitting one by one. Im a bit disappointed in that because the tank was so expensive.

The Hagen Marina 10 watt works very well and fits in the right rear compartment by the outflow.

No. It's a light, not a heater. It looks like there are heated perches available. Maybe that would help.....

whichever mondel that you are thinking about getting, my recommendation is shop for something eles, will not heat up a room at all...

This is electric. Note that it does not have one of those overload plugs that will shut it off if it gets to hot. I have already blown a fuze in my fuzebox with this. Other than that it's a great little heater.

I believe that there is a heater available. I think I saw one at one of the pet supply stores. Sheila

Most Gas heaters are adapted to both. Have a plumber install the heater for your safety.

No, it is just a heater, but if you can't find a combo that is within budget this guy works wonders. I can use it to heat a decently sized space though it would better if the space has a door. On the winter I turn it on thirty minutes before bed and close the bedroom door and when I walk into my bedroom it's warm and the sheets are heated through.

I don't have a bill to look at yet, but I bet its something like using an A/C alot. The little red part is a simple heater/fan with only two settings: on or off. Sorry can't give more info. I highly doubt the electricity cost comes close to the alternative, which I guess would be hiring a professional service to heat treat your things? And of course, I'd recommend wiping down, washing, or getting rid of anything you can, to keep the heat treating loads to a minimum.

It's a nice little heater, however all heater use a lot of electricity. It is still a 1500 watt heater. Work good in a small space

I'm assuming it is a large open space and usually not well insulated. The heater is thermostatically controlled and would run constantly and burn itself out.

I would go with an electric one if you want heat for a longer time period. I like this one because there is no cord to deal with.

The heaters are rated for 208VAC to 240VAC and controlled by an external thermostat. I went to the manufacturer's website to get all info on their products. Amazon didn't have all sizes I needed. So, I order from distributor with best offer

Teresa, this heater is a great heater. It lights easy and has 2 settings. Ours stays on the low most of the time. I think it would do a great job!

plug-in. almost all heaters are because it really takes a lot of power (proportional to Amps) to heat. A battery-powered heater either wouldn't heat very much or would drain the batteries super-fast. FYI, because they take a lot of power they can flip circuit breakers and raise the electric bill. I'm using these models right now. They work fine but are not too big, so it takes a little while to heat up a whole room. Also, they do have an overheat sensor, so if it's knocked over it won't work again for a good while until it's cooled off.

All types of electric space heaters convert electrical energy into heat. Ceramic and quartz heaters distribute their heat by convection, which heats the air and circulates it around the room. Infrared heaters transfer thermal energy via electromagnetic waves, which are absorbed by people and objects in their path, creating warmth.Read more : http://www.ehow.com/about_5348342_infrared-versus-quartz-ceramic-heaters.html

Depends on how much temp change you need. If your ambient room temp is in the high 60's or low 70's and you're looking to get closer to 80*, a 50 or 75 watt will work in a 30g. If you need more temp increase than that, or just want a more efficient heater, I'd look at a 100W.

I had a heater like yours and it did not run it. I was so disappointed with the unit, I sent it back and received a refund. BTW, it's made in China.
