Can this be used in aquarium with 20" hight? I have a dragon ornament that might look good breathing out fog and fire (:

I am not sure, due to the height. You need to have at least 1.5-2 inches of water above the top of the unit for it to work well, and it would depend on how much water you have in the aquarium. If you were going to put a small bowl into your dragon to hold the fogger, it could work. If there is too much water above the top of it, you won't get the fogging effect.

Sorry David, I'm not sure I can be of any help. I use mine is a shallow fountain.

I bought this product for our fountain outside and it works best when its not submerged too deep, just a half inch of water covering the top. If you can manage that it would work great.

If being used as an aquarium you can't. If using as a terrarium the only way I could imagine this is if you kept it in a container as you would need to remove the tree for pruning. Good luck

It looks like it would only fit on the side, and that would greatly detract from the looks of the aquarium, plus you have a built in filter, so that function would be overkill. I would look for a in tank UV light, or a different aquarium option.

It'll probably be too tall. I have a 36 gallon tank and it's too talk for my tank.

If you search for Aqueon Pro heaters on Fosters & Smith and they have a sizing table there. It indicates a 20 gallon should use a Pro50 - that's their 50W unit. I sized mine up, in anticipation of getting a larger tank for our turtle down the road - something you might consider. And yes, they can be mounted any orientation you wish. Mine was submerged horizontal for a year, then we moved some things around and now it's on a 45 degree angle - the suction cups that attach it to the side of the tank make it easy to mount any way you want. These heaters are pretty rugged and have some nice features - I highly recommend them. If you search for Aqueon Pro heaters on Fosters & Smith and they have a sizing table there.

I was able to place my 20 gallon on the bottom of the stand but did not keep it there. The reason is because petco did not cover anything about using the bottom to hold a 20 gallon. This could cause one big issue for you as well the fish in both tanks. So my advice would be not to try it! You could always contact the company and ask them directly but more likely get told nearly what I covered. I hope that helps you out.

I use ours on our home water storage tanks. There's really nothing that could contaminate anything. It's just a hard plastic case and an extension cord. No different than most aquarium devices. If your using it for a aquarium topoff than I would not recommend it though as it has to rise / fall quite a bit to turn on/off. You can control that by how long the cord to the float is but I would say minimum of 3". My tanks drop about 18" before it turns on. There are many ato devices out there like the jbj auto top off that work excellent for fish tanks. It's what I use on my 280g. Hope that helps

It will fit a 20 gallon tall aquarium. Brands of aquarium are slightly different so if you have an aquarium that is not Tetra or Marineland, you might have to make an adjustment for it to fit. Two of these will cover a 55 gallon tank.

Unless you live in an unheated igloo, I suspect it may be more powerful than needed. Also, it's pretty big for a typical 20g tank, and has to be completely immersed, so might not fit.

Unfortunately I cannot help here. I had bought this for an aquarium just to see if it would help. It was too large. Good luck with your searching.

It won't work for your application. This heater is meant for indoor tanks. For 200gal at 20F you'll need some sort of de-icer.

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.

The light sits about one inch above the glass top of my aquarium. The total height of the frame and light above the glass top maybe 1 1/2 - 2 inches max. I also have a wood canopy and have plenty of room with the light. It's an awesome light btw.

I have this on a 20 gallon tank and after acclimating the frags to the light, I have montipora growing about 5" from the surface. But acros or really high light corals, no way. Get a quad t5 ho or a dimmable Evergrow from ebay.

With gravel and water, a 20 gallon aquarium would weigh about 200 lbs. With the aquarium centered above the center upright piece(s), it might be okay. Nevertheless, over time, the "wood" will likely start to sag and any water that escapes the aquarium would damage the unit. Personally, I would look for something better suited.

Some of these answers are wrong. This DOES NOT fit 20 inch, ten gallon aquariums. It is a 16 inch hood.

The 20lb cylinder fits the unit You could use any size tank but you would have to alter the length of the hose. This would also limit moving the unit.
