Does Rheem make a 50 gal. "short" heater?

Checking at www.Rheem.com i can only find one "short" tank heater, it is 30 gal electric. Maybe you should consider a tankless heater.

yes. Whenever I have used this heater in my hot house ,I have always used a 20 gal. propane tank and it works very well.

There are two openings on the top so no need to make one. The first is about 2x2 square and the other is a hexagon about the size of a fifty cent coin. We found a heater made for small tanks that is about the size of a lighter that we are considering. Hope this helps.

yes, I very much like this one; Hydor 7.5w Slim Heater for Bettas and Bowls, 2 to 5 gal It works well without cooking your fish.

Based on Rheems' product information on their web site and the product specifications on The Home Depot web site, Rheem makes two sizes of tankless natural gas fuels water heaters. One is rated at 8.4 gallons per minute and the other size is 9.5 gpm. Rheem also makes these two sizes in both "condensing" type and "non-condensing" type. The Rheem Ecosense line seems to be just a slight re-branding for The Home Depot and the re-branded product does not seem to be any different than the standard Rheem product sold on Amazon. The Rheem Ecosense ECOH200DVLN at The Home Depot seem to be the same as the RTGH-95DVLN 9.5 sold on Amazon. they are both condensing type (most efficient and easiest to vent) an they both produce a maximum of 9.5 gpm of hot water. Both are the largest capacity models made by Rheem. I have a 4200 sq. ft home with three bathrooms. We can have two showers going and the dishwasher with no reduction in hot water temperature even in the winter (near Chicago) when the inlet water is very cold. So, I would say that the Rheem RTGH-95DVLN 9.5 gpm unit will meet your hot water needs.

This listing is for a 50 watt heater. The standard recommendation is about 3 watts per gallon.

I had this heater in a 3 gal 360 tank and it kept it too warm. I ended up buying a heater that I could set the temperature.

Resistance of the heater, R = (240 V)^2 / 5500 W = 10.47 ohmCurrent draw, I = V/R = (110 V) / (10.47 ohm) = 10.50 ampHeating Power at 110 V, P = (110 V)^2 / (10.47 ohm) = 1155 W, 21% of rated power.Normal wiring will be fine, just make sure its rated above 10.5 amp, 14 AWG or thicker should be sufficient.A standard 15 amp circuit will work, but your water will heat up slowly, 7.6 seconds per gallon per degree FahrenheitAt 240 V your heat up rate would be 1.6 seconds per gallon per degree Fahrenheit

I believe it was made for a 50 gallon tank. But I guess it does not really make a difference if it a smaller tank.

No, but IMO this heater is too big and too powerful for a tiny aquarium. I would look for a product specifically designed for nano tanks.

Hydor also makes a 25W heater, which works the same, but is smaller and might fit in your tank better.

The unit is operated on AC, but like most alliances, the AC in most cases is converted to DC. Regardless, the Unit needs to operate on AC in order for it to work. The Rheem's and other Electronic On-Demand Water Heaters only require a fraction of power to operate... the heat is provided by PL or Natural Gas, the fan takes the most, but will run on Modified Sine Wave Inverters. No other Brand On-Demand water heater will warranty if they run on Modified... they must be on Pure Sine Wave, or grid power, or Inverter style generators (with an "I" in the model number). So with folks that have older modified sine wave inverters, The Rheem is the only one that will operate and won't void the warranty.

I say yes. I have 50 Amp service on my boat and I can run two 120 volt Mini 3 heaters simultaneously as well as a 1000 watt space heater. That's about my limit though.

Yes, Sandra it will. My basement is very, very chilly in the winter sometimes the temperature doesn't get higher than 40 degrees and I have a 50 gallon tank with 4 red ear sliders. I set the 200 watt heater on high and it keeps the water around 65 degrees. I know they would like it warmer so I have a heat lamp over top of the platform where they can go and get warmer. I have had this heater for at least 5 months and it seems to be working well, "glad I purchased it."

Any heater designed for <5 gallon tanks will fit in the same chamber designated for the water pump. Having said that, if the overall ambient temperature of the room you're placing the tank in averages around 70 degrees, I wouldn't even bother with a heater because you may experience unwanted algae growth...

It's fine, I use mine in a 55 Gal so you have plenty even if you decide to go to a bigger tank. Enjoy these are the best heaters.

Please be aware this is the lowest wattage unit Farm Innovators makes. If I were going to be looking at 3 gal. and -20 I would think about a higher wattage unit but I have no experience with it in such extreme conditions.
