will this controller work for a room that is 5'x5'? or it made just for aquariums?

The controller could technically do an even larger room than that, it is all dependent on the hardware you use. You could use a larger heater, and a larger humidifier keeping in mind the devices maximum wattage. In case you are setting up a STINKY closet with a VERY bright light in it, I would suggest using a 4x4. Your results will be far beyond that of a 5x5....

I have this light for my indoor aquaponics system. You can see some pics of my system on my blog at www.whatisaquaponics.co but I have it close to my plants so it covers less than 2sq ft. Great light though.

I use mine on a five gallon tank and think it would work equally well for 10 gallons... I would not go smaller.

Yes it would. I have mine on a 10 gallon tank and the plants are doing great. I have several different types, vals, sprites, banana plants, java fern and crypts. I used it before this tank on a 6 gallon deep tank and it made the plants go nuts in it. I really like the Finnex lights, we have several, Just got a ray plant one for our 125 gal tank to go with a finnex ray II, and it looks so nice, the plants are taking off and their is so much more room on top now since we got rid of the big ol bulky T5 and T8's. Good luch!

I'm not sure. I have a 90 gallon fresh water tank that is very tall. Overall I'm satisfied. I love having a remote for it.

It would work for any size room. If only it would work longer than 24 hours after purchase. I should have read the reviews.

The one I have is 2.5 inches x 1.75 inches x 1 inch I have several controllers and my answer above is for a different model. The model you are asking about is 5 inches x 2.75 inches x 1.375 inches.

Mine works great in my 5 gallon goldfish tank. I'd only hesitate using it for bettas because sometimes water currents can damage their delicate fins.

I don't think it will work for a room 15x15, maybe a room half that size. It fills about a cup of water every day.

I have it on my 6 gallon fluval edge so it will be fine. I love this heater because it is the only heater that has build in temperature sensor and you can even set desired temperature. Once the sensor detect the tank temperature match the temperature you set, it will stop heat the water. Most mini heater will continue to heat the tank which result over heat the tank and kill fish.

Yes it would. I'm currently using it with my 20gal long isolation terrarium. It does an excellent job of maintaining relative humidty as well.

Yes, but it's very large so it would take up a big portion of it. For a terrarium it should be ok but I think for a fish setup, it'd be overwhelming. I think its dimensions are 11" x 9.5" x 8.25"

You will want to purchase the product that is the closest length of your aquarium so the lights extend all the way across. If you want the light to only cover the width of your aquarium then yes this particular size will do that. Personally I wish I had bought the longer / larger product. This light works great and supports coral growth and health but I have to rotate it around my tank throughout the day to ensure al my corals get the light they require.

If what you mean is will it turn on/off based on temperature then no. You could buy a aquarium heater controller and hook this up to it and it would do so, but for what you want it may be "overkill". I would suggest that you just turn it on and off manually if you want to use this for your purpose. BTW, the number 240 is the number of gallons per hour (gph) this flow head will create...might be MORE circulation than you expect.

no controller needed, can (like mine) be plugged directly into wall for tank circulation
