I'm doing a super Mario theme aquarium/ fish tank. Would the color and plastic hold up in a 55 gal tank?? It's fresh water not salt water.

They hold up well with 5 and 7 years olds and would most likely do well in an aquarium. I would be careful because they are from China and you need to make sure that something in them would not be harmful to the fish.

I have a 40 gallon breader tank and it keeps it around 80 threw the mesh top with about room temp at 67-70...if I place it inside the rank it will keep it around 85ish...

I have 36" wide 75 gallon tank and I have one of these up. Had it about 2 months my corals are doing ok so far. I have mostly soft corals and a few lps corals. I've noticed my soft corals have lost some color right under the light so its a little stronger than my 150w metal halide. Any wider and I would suggest 2 of these though as the light drops off pretty fast on the edges of my tank, but my soft corals are ok with that

I have it in a 30 gal classic rectangular tank and all my reef inhabitants seems to be happy with it. It is installed inside of the tank and submerges about 90%. It might look big in 12 gal, as it probably occupies about a 1/2 gal of aquarium space.

Yes you can use it on a 55g salt water aquarium it will just take a bit for it to fill as it only creates 50gpd of water.

I had this for a while it was a good use when I was to busy, but look at the plastic grade that the water goes through make sure the holes are not clogged and make sure it is kept clean if at any reason it gets algae clean out well or the water will not come out.. and make sure to change your water every 5 days to keep clean. I hope that answers your question.

It would probably work well for insulation. I would just worry about the weight of the aquarium.

It would hold water, that's for sure.My husband and I removed all the stickers, primed, painted, and placed ours in raised stilt-like cradles .... they look nice as raised planters and would LOOK nice as Koi tanks too .... but as the other respondent wrote, I would investigate before purchasing.

Because of the nature of aquariums, I'd hesitate with that. Water tends to slosh around and become unstable during cleanings, etc. That might be a question to direct to the manufacturer.

Hi Teresa,It should be fine. If it gets algae on it, just remove it from the tank and clean it with a mild dish soap, plus make sure to rinse it thoroughly prior to placing it back in the fish tank. I echo the comment about fastening it to the bottom. Check yourself though. I had some sharks in our pool last summer (my daughter would dive for them) and they sank.

I think you'd have to keep it in a dry place. I use it for a 55g turtle tank indoors, and it works great. But I think for the price you could do better on outdoor "pond" filters.

I used in a 60 gallon marine aquarium and it was fine, but it really depends on how cold the location gets and how hard the heater will have to work. The titanium is durable. My heater was off by a few degrees so bear that into consideration when setting it. Might want to verify with a separate thermometer. GFI use is always recommended around a water source, but it will physically function without GFI. Whether or not that's a good idea is up to you :-)

Thanks for your question. I think that a 55gal would be the max tank I would use it for. You would have to use it to the max adjusting but it should work fine. Good luck and have fun

My tank is plastic also. I have mine on the bottom covered in glass marbles. It hasn't done anything to my tank at all.

Greetings Crystal:Yes, the Goldwell 3 step metal stand should be able to withstand a 5 gallon "glass" bottle. I placed my water crock along with my full 5 gallon BPA free water bottle on top and 2 more 5 gallon filled bottles underneath it and so far, no problems at all. So that's over 15+ gallons of water already on the stand. I've had this stand since February 2013 from Amazon. The stand itself is very sturdy, has a glossy finish and the design looks great. The only tiny issue I had was assembling the last screw in the middle, it was pretty tough. Other than that, the instruction was very easy to follow. I hope this helps you in deciding. Have a good weekend. Greetings Crystal:Yes, the Goldwell 3 step metal stand should be able to withstand a 5 gallon "glass" bottle.

Yes it will be ok for it, i have one on my squared 120 gallon tank and looks very good. There are no dark areas in it.
