Any problems using this as a primary heater for an attached 290 sq ft lean-to greenhouse? I want to attach it to my main 500 gallon LP tank.

I used it in my greenhouse during subzero temps and it works great until it runs out of propane. It has a healthy appetite so I would recommend a separate tank for it.

Jerry I purchased mine for additional heat in my shop that is attached to my home , I also attached it to my 500 gal L.P. tank but you will need a regulator placed on that line , do not go direct from the tank with- out one !!! Note there is a slight smell , for the price it works great . any other questions contact me .

Jerry, I teed from the tank and ran a separate line to the shop then placed another regulatorwhere I entered the shop, the reason I did this was so when my other furnace and hot waterheater kicked in the pressure would not be too low, I maybe wrong but error on safety first.Your Propane supplier should be able to answer this question correctly .

It should do the job. The thermostat is not really precise and starts out at about 60 degrees. I use it to take the chill out of my 3 stall garage and it works (central CA region) .

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

You need to buy the propane version of this heater, not the natural gas one. Search for it - its on Amazon. It will work fine with one of those 25 pound tanks you can exchange at Home Depot or other such places, but it wont last very long at full blast. I have two 40 pound tanks. Whenever one runs out, I switch to the other one and go get the empty filled. I use mine to heat a weekend cabin. If you are going to heat continuously, I would suggest a much larger tank.

This isn't a heavy duty greenhouse. It's good for seed starting and small plants and I would only use it in the home or garage. Mine has worked good for seeds but I did purchase small fluorescent lights from Home Depot to put in it.

I bought the 12" Finnex 2Ray Planted+ for my 10 gallon planted tank and no it does not generate a lot of heat. Great light for the price

Yes. I use a 20 lb and 40 lb tank (switch out) and have had no problems. I use heater for supplemental heating. I assume because the smaller tanks will lose pressure faster is why they state only a 100 lb tank. I found you need to make sure you have a proper regulator (low pressure).

No, it should be fine. These heaters have an adjustable settings. I have a 300 watt for my 90 gallon fish pond and have it set at 80 degrees. It kept the water warm and prevented it from freezing during the winter.

Yes just fine I just ordered a 490 cfm 6" for it but I have been using a 4" 290 cfm and i works fine I was using a 400 mh to veg and a 600 to flower now I use a 600 to veg andva 1000 to flower so I had to upgrade to a 6"! So you will be just fine!!

I am assuming your cage will be in your home and provided that your home is maintained at 65 degrees or more, it should do alright for you. I would locate the emitter at one end of the tank and an under tank tape at the other end. Then invest in a Zoo-Med 500 thermostat and plug both emitter and tape into it, then you should have no problems maintaining desired temps. I've been using the emitter in a 40 gallon tote converted into a brooder for chicks and I have been able to maintain 95 degrees no problem, even earlier this spring when it was cooler.

I use two of these in a1500 gal tank. We are in northern Ga so far is has maintained this tank to 70° I bought a thermostat to control temp works well does not run all the time

I used mine for a 55 gallon tank and it heated it perfectly until a month later and it stopped producing heat

I would have to agree w/ Toshi...if you are going to use this for primary heat, you should get a larger capacity tank else you will be RE-filling it ALL the time! :P...I only use this heater as my back-up emergency heat source & I run it off a 20lb (think BBQ tank!) & 30lb (travel trailer size) tank for convenience...one 20 lb tank heating about 1000sq. ft will only last me about 1-2 days when extremely cold out (less than 20 degrees or so), otherwise if the temperatures are 'moderate' you may actually get a few days from a 20lb tank! Hope this helps! ;)

It has a regular propane attachment so it shouldn't matter what size tank you sit it on. The only issue I can see is that the heater would sit perpendicular to the ground. I'm not sure how that would effect the operation.

I heat a 400 sq ft cabin with this heater and I have it hooked up to a 100 gal permanent propane tank. That said, I probably wouldn't use anything less than a 5 gal. tank.

My heater is connected to a 300 gallon propane tank so I can't answer your question. My heater is a backup in case an electric heater fails. It has never been used even once.

I am using my King of the same model to heat a greenhouse 16' x 28' x 12' with 5-wall polycarbonate glazing. The target low temperature is 55°F. The King can handle that on a cold nights down to about 18°F outside on a still night, 25°F on a windy night. When the outside drops below that, I supplement with a kerosene space heater. I could probably make it with 2 King heaters but the power is not rated for that.

I'm using it in a 3 gallon Tetra Cube. As long as it's submerged horizontal or vertically, and not touching substrate, it'll work. The heater is 6.5" tall x 2" wide. I like it because, it heats to a set temperature; if the tank is too warm, it shuts off. I've been using it for a month, checking with a thermometer, and it's been spot on 80, as set for my Betta.
