would this work in a 5gal. tank?

Yes, I actually use it in a 5 gal tank. You would need a separate aquarium thermometer though to monitor the temperature. It tends to warm the water a little too much in warmer months, so I would unplug the heater then.

It's a bit weak for a proper 5 gallon tank. Go for the Hydor Theo 25 watt submersible. It has adjustable temperature settings and doesn't cook my snails when they crawl over it.

No, I use the hydro water to prevent birds from freezing during the winter and the pool is only a third of gall

Most likely no, you'd probably need a larger heater that has the ability physically adjust the temperature.

It's designed for the 5 gallon. If the opening is the same then yes otherwise no. They sure work well.

I wouldn't recommend this for that size tank. Unfortunately I couldn't get mine to work, the tank would have to be at least 30 gallons to use it correctly

Probably be Ok. You can try then add the five or nine gallon tank in-line. Depends on your water used.

Yes. It will work in a 55gal drum. Just don't to drop the unit as it will become loud like a jackhammer.

No it will not , 5 gallon mouth on the containers are too big , I had to modify my plastic container to make it work

It'll heat a 5 gallon tank just fine. Be sure to purchase a thermostat, if you don't have one already.

It should be ok..that filter is up to 40g.... That thing should keep your tank pretty clean. Plus you can adjust the flow so your not creating a whirlpool inside the small tank. IMO I'd upgrade to at least a 20 or 30 gallon... Hope I helped!!

I am using this in a 55g tank, so yes, bigger is better in this case. First one I got was defective after 6 weeks, so crossing my fingers the replacement will be trouble free

I wouldn't use it in anything over 15gal. It is very unreliable with out a solenoid valve.

It isn't recommended. I have never tried it. I believe they have a model that works with the 5 gal propane tanks, but I remember it recommended only using the small canisters for this Red Dragon model.

No it won't, it is way too long to fit in small tanks. I had to return mine because it didn't fit in my five gallon tank.

It should, I have used it on a couple different brands of jugs. I would say no smaller than 5 gal though

Yes It Will, But It Is Little But Big For Such A Small Tank. I Have A 100Gal Tank I Use It In And It Works Great For It.

That depends on how wide/long your tank is. Read the measurements and compare with your tank.

Most likely not. The 5 gals tend to be smaller. But I'd check the dimension of yours first. This one fits a standard 10 gal.

It works great in my 5 gal. The other one I had took the water out too quickly. This gives you plenty of time to suck the bottom stuff up.
