Will this be o.k. in a 1 gal acrylic tank?

Dont't know about 1 gallon, but we operated this heater in a 3 gallon. It was recommended by the tank company (no affiliation with Tetra)

It would be great for a 1 gallon acrylic depending on what temperature you need. It heats at about 76-78, and it is not adjustable. I am keeping one of these for use in a sick tank for cold water fish, but I have opted to use the adjustables for my other tanks. It is not quite warm enough for my bettas, and it's a little too warm for everyday use in my cold water tank. I used this in two different tanks before switching out, one was a 2 gallon, and the other was a 5 gallon. It was consistently reliable at the 76-78 degrees.

I think so because as soon as the water reaches the ideal temp it turns off...

My tank is acrylic making it much lighter than glass but having said I have 60 lbs sand , 50 lbs live rock and loads of fake corals and it seems as if it could support even more. It is steel and pretty well put together so I think it will be fine for 65 gal tank.

Ruthie, I keep mine in a 1 gal jug. I am not sure it will all fit into one 5.5 qt.

Yes, it would. The 2 oz. bottle is more than enough to cycle a 2-gallon tank. I've had my bottle for over a year, I've cycled quite a few tanks with it, and it's still 3/4 full.

It will work, but the LOUD compressor will come on every few nails. For a medium sized project, a 3-6 gallon tank would be better.

One gallon should do it! You can have an extra quart on hand just in case. My event (SummerFest for Nursing Home) was 3 hours long and I used 1 gallon, though, when I noticed it ran out, I'm not sure if it had been empty 5 min. or 20 min. as I was busy. On 2nd thought, I just realized I still have some left in that gallon jug. Hope this helps!

Yes it is. I used mine in a 2 gallon acrylic tank for a Betta , and it worked fine. I recommend checking the heater periodically to make sure it's working properly.

I am sorry that I don't know the answer to that. I don't have an acrylic tub.

hard to say. i have it in a 20 gal. tank & have to restrict it a bit. lots of bubbles. suggest you try it & if necessary, add a second one.

It will depend on the size of the pot (gal. size). I have mine in a small pot maybe 1/2-1gal and it grew maybe 6-8 inches more from the time I received it.

One can should do it. Make sure the tank is cleaned properly so this can adhere.

no its for glass there are specific floats for acrylic. i wouldn't buy it for an acrylic tank if i were you

Without having my hands on a 1/2 gallon jar, I would say not. Think you would be safe using your one quarts though.

it will, but i would get something smaller for that size tank, i have it with a 3g tank and it never gets under the temp i have it at, a 1.5 tank may be overkill, but it will keep it at the temp you want, but keep in mind, it takes up some room, so you have to make sure your tank is either high enough for it or if you put the whole thing in water and lay it down, you need to make sure your tank is long enough.

i am using mine in a 2 1/2 gallon tank. & i had to take the plastic stem out in order to make it fit. I fitted it with a plastic aquarium plant pot covered with plastic mesh & it works great.

I am not sure. My tub is acrylic and it worked well. Maybe test in a small area.

I sealed a five gallon tank and didnt even use an eighth of the pint once the excess was all drained. Hope this gives you an idea of how much you'll need for you're project.
