Im leaving my 6.5 gallon tank alone for 10 days, can this be left, at least somewhat effectively, on a low setting for that duration of time?

Personally I would not. If the gas tank starts to run out it can increase the amount of co2 the gas canister releases. This is normally fine if you only leave it on during the day (during photosynthesis) but should be turned off at night. You could end up suffocating your tank over 10 days. You're be better off just turning it off.

Yes, should not be an issue provided you have fish in the tank and someone will be feeding them. That should keep up the difference.

roughly 8 hours on a full tank. You can set a timer function to automatically turn off after a few hours.

You should not have an issue. Just the shorter burn time the lower capacity tank provides.

I wouldnt do that. The ph will change within 2 days. Ive had plants die because i left them unattended for days. This is typical for all hydro setups

It's meant for a smaller tank. I found it made the water too warm and since you can not adjust it, I just took it out. I would try it for a ten gallon but keep an eye on the temp.

you should be fine with 6 to 8 hours. too much more than that and you start to get an algae problem.

Possibly, if you're feeding a small amount for a small number of fish. But I'd worry about it lasting that long. Otherwise a good product, though. I've used it for a 10-day period feeding a relatively large amount twice a day and the fish were pretty happy when I got back, with food left in the bin.

Just put it in the tank, not in the lower part. Change it every two to three months.

No and No. Depending on the size of the tank will influence the temp. When I had a smaller tank (<1 gal) I had it on a timer. I did 6 hours on, 1 hour off. That kept in the range I needed. The one I have now (about 1.5 gal), it keeps it at about 76-78

After the unit warms up (5-10 mins), it kicks out PLENTY of heat at the lowest wick setting. I've never tried keeping it at a higher setting because I haven't needed it. If you're warming <2000 sq ft, this unit can handle it at a low setting. Tank is 1.9 gal and gets me about 12 hours of heat, so north of 6 hours per gallon I suppose.

System has auto off when water level is low. Best way is to refill before each usage. Tank is large and should last all night.

No. You will need to keep an eye on the temperature of the water. It is better to buy a preset heater for the tank or use the timer.

I wouldn't use it longer than 8-10 days at a time. While it works really well, it does have an effect on the water that can only be removed with a water change. I would do a full water change, and ensure that the water is kept at about 78 degrees. Betas need heaters, unlike goldfish. I had a similar issue with my Beta, and she didn't seem to respond to the medicine. At the time, I did not have a heater. After buying a heater and doing a water change, her fins gradually healed over the course of several weeks, and her appetite improved considerably.

it's OK even without added CO2. turning the light off a few hours a day in the middle of the day would be helpful to keep algae in check.

The manual says two minutes. I just do a half gallon for ten and put it in the fridge. I usually finish that in two days.

No it does not as long as you don't use it too long or too much. So just turn it off at night but if you notice your fish are "slower" than usual then just don't use for about a day

The structure should be good for a couple of days. water temp shouldn't make a difference. Check with the manufacturer on storing in the fridge.
