Is this too large (would it look too unsightly) for a 5 gallon pico tank?

Any auto top off would probably not look to good, but it would probably be easy to conceal with some plants

It is perfect for my 8 gallon JBJ nano cube, I think it will be the same for a 5 gallon.

It is small and looks nice; it has been used for over a year without and problem; it works great! Good device for a pico tank!

Hi, Mary - it is a good size for a 30 gallon tank, but I think it would be too large for a 5 gallon. It needs to sit inside the tank, so it takes up a lot of space. In my aquarium, it sits in a compartment at the back, hidden behind a sheet of black plexiglass. It I had to look at it in the tank, it would be unslightly, even in a 30 gallon aquarium, unless I could figure out a way to hide it behind live rock.

It is really just preference. I am using mine in a 14 gallon biocube in the 3rd chamber so it really doesn't show. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Sounds like a question about personal preference... Mine doesn't show too much because about 3/4 of it is covered by the frame around the top of my tank (54 gallon bow front). I would imagine a 5 gallon tank has a smaller frame around the top so more of it would show... The ideal tank would have nothing showing but this product makes life so easy it's worth it in my opinion... I did a lot of research and this was the best thing I could find. Your only other option would be building your own if you wanted something more discrete.

Not at all. I have a standard 55 gallon tank with a mid divider. I bought two of these and it fits the right and left perfectly.

Are you trying to mount the light in the hood ?..we have a glass top that the light sits on its a great light and should fit fine on a five gallon tank. Vut can't say for sure if tour trying to put it in a hood

Your 3.5 gallon tank would be too small for this heater because I use it in my 5.5 gallon Top Fin tank and the length of this heater fits just perfectly in there vertically. It is safer to use this heater in a 5 gallon or more size tank but not less.

Yeah probably, mine is over a 8 gallon planted tank. Sometimes it almost seems like too much on that tank.

I believe it would look fine in a ten gallon tank. I have mine in a seven gallon tank. Initially I installed it along the back wall in a straight line, basically to observe it for a few days. The LEDS can be quite bright if you look at them directly with nothing to defuse the light. I then moved it to the bottom of the back wall and placed artificial plants and 4" castles near and over the lights. My tank now looks magical at night. I placed the small castles directly over a LED light. The plants defuse the light and the bubbles are tiny sparkles floating up through the leaves. I had to drill small holes in the tops of the castles to allow the bubbles to escape. In the day time the castles have a barely noticeable blue glow and wonderful bluish smoke bubbles rising out of the chimney. At night the castles become magically inner lit with a blue glow and the bubbles from the chimney create an intriguing blue "smoke" stream reaching towards the sky. My fish, mollies, tetras, and fancy guppies, appear to like it also. I never noticed them going in and out of the castles before I lit them up. Now they travel in and out of the castles all the time.

I have it on top of my 2.5 gallon betta tank (just resting on top) and it is about the width of the top. So not sure how big you're looking for but that's a size comparison. 29 gallon sounds awfully big but it might work

Well, the great thing about this light is, it can be adjusted. You can adjust the light spectrum to your liking as well as, the light intensity. For that size tank all you would have to do is have the light intensity not so high. Overall, I think it'll be just fine for that size tank. This is a great lightning system and so far I love how it looks on my tank, which is a 20 gallon tall tank. Hope this helped. :)

I really enjoy this tank. I like the all-in-one feature. It does run a little hot and I have to keep the back open, but it's summer and I hope that won't be continued into the winter. I took out the BioBalls and am using a media basket with carbon, floss and Purigen. I also have chaeto in the back as well. You can find a lot of information on the salt water forums. There are plenty of them and good advice with most. But for a clown and rocks it would be a good size. Being a smaller tank you will need to keep up with water changes as well. I hope this helps. Good luck.

This item is very bright. I have a 55 gallon tank and it's just right for my tank. This would be way too much for your tank. You would end up with more alge.

Yes, I use it in a 5 gallon and I wouldn't use it in anything smaller than that.

No, it'd be fine. A 55 for a single Oscar is a good tank. He'll get to be 10" if you feed goldfish. These "blowers" I call them move a lot if water because they suck from the sides and blow outlet the front. Put one in the lower rear corner opposite your filter intake, blowing back across the front of the tank. It'll help keep the crap ( and Oscars crap like small dogs) from acumulating. Good luck. You won't be disappointed with these things. I have two in my 110 tall tank.

I actually love this little tank. I had it as a saltwater pico tank for a while than a treatment tank for freshwater. A little 35 watt heater from Walmart will fit into the return section.

I ordered this a month ago for my 23.5 gallon and it fits great. Very sturdy and easy to put together. Just check your dimensions, my tank is more wide and its the perfect fit.

I have 3 tanks and find it best to have one on each side for my larger tanks 155 and 265. I have only one on my 55 gallon. I would go with one large on one side and see how that does, it wont hurt to add a smaller one one the right side if needed.

Yes I think it would be too big. You need to enlarge you pond; then it would be fine. :)

I have mine in a 75 gallon and it takes up a lot of corner space. I think for a 10 gallon it would be to big and to powerful.
