I have a one gallon tank with an african dwarf frog in it. No fish. He likes 80 -82 degrees. Will this go to minimum 80?

Mine stays at 78 degrees in a five gallon tank with the temperature knob turned about half way, so I'm sure it will get to 82 degrees in a 1 gallon tank.

I would stay with the smaller heating pad cause they need cool space as well plus its really the lights you use that should keep the temperature of the tank to be over 75f.....not the heating pad (this is for when they are cool and want a place to warm up) I would check the watt of the day light u are using and maybe use a 75w or a 100w day light for reptiles and use the same watt for the night light(red light)

For our tank, the lights were warm enough to keep it in the correct range... get a thermometer and watch it for a few days... you need to allow the tank to cycle for at least a month before you put fish in it... plenty of time to decide...

I wouldn't recommend it, I used it for a 3 gal tank and it heated it to almost 78-80 degrees sometimes. Luckily I had a thermometer on the outside side of the tank so I just unplugged it if it got too warm. I just had one Beta fish in the tank, if you have any other fish other than a goldfish or a guppy I would definitely try to get a bigger tank so you can put a heater in it :) Hope this helps!

Hi Steve, I actually bought 2 of these for my mother's 175 gallon pond. We sat one on the bottom of each side of the pond and set the thermostat to 70 degrees. During the evening, we keep to surface covered with that blue bubble wrap stuff that people use to cover pools. Even during the coldest winter days, the pond water is still close to 70 degrees. Her tropical fish and turtles are still doing great with this setup 3 years later.

Ben,The Chiller size depends on the capacity of your aquarium and ambient room temp. Chillers are not rated by output temp. I have a 65g aquarium and with the chiller my tank stays at 77 degrees with room temp of 78. Without the chiller my tank would be at 81. This chiller is great but it is not quite, I hope this helps.

We have a 50 gallon tank and it keeps the water for my very large red ear red slider a perfect 68 degrees. I image it might if you're not too fussy about the temperature being super warm.

I've had a Betta Tank for 2 years and this thermometer has worked great so far. Between 50 and 90 degrees. I keep my Betta at 76 to 80 and it stays within 1 degree all the time. You would need some moister to keep the thermometer sticked to the tank however. A great tool anyway.

Personally, I wouldn't because the lowest temperature it can be set on is 68 degrees. It also depends on what you have in the tank.

Hello RaeRae, You answer is not so simple. The capacity of a heater not only depends on the heater itself, but the original temperature of the medium. Even though this is rated for a larger tank than you are asking about, if the place the tank will be in much colder than average is may be a good choice. If your water starts at 65 degrees, and you want it at 78, this may work for you. If you start at 72, this may get the water hotter than you want. Another aspect to consider is how much water movement you have in your tank. The more water movement, the better the heat will be distributed, and the water will be closer to the thermo's temp setting. I agree with JR, I have not seen any for that small of a size. You could look at reptile heating accessories that afix to the outside of the tank, it would be a hack though.

It will keep your aquarium 10 degrees warmer than ambient room temperature. It usually stays around 80-82 in my 3 gal betta tank.

This "tank" is only 2 gallons and the surrounding air in your home should be warm enough for any fish that would be suited for this little tank. Also, it's plastic, a heater would probably damage it...

I have a 40 gallon breader tank and it keeps it around 80 threw the mesh top with about room temp at 67-70...if I place it inside the rank it will keep it around 85ish...

I think that you can, but I don't know that I would. I have a 3 gallon tank and it barely keeps the water in the 70s F. I worry that burying it under the gravel would inhibit the heat from spreading throughout the tank. But I think you can try it without any dire consequences. Just keep an eye on the water temperature, and if it is too low for your fish, dig it up and stick it to a tank wall.

It depends on how warm you keep the room that the aquarium is on. If you keep the room temp at 75F, the water temp will be about 73 in the aquarium. Therefore if you only need the aquarium temp to be 78-80, that means it only has to raise the temp 5-7 degrees. You go by the room tempuature to determine how much wattage of heater you need. I personally use two on my 120gal to keep a more consistent temp throughout the tank because I have a cannister filter on both ends.

I raise bettas the Stress coat and fresh water salt is fine,temperature should be kept between 70-80 degrees,preferably 76.

I keep an African Dwarf Frog with my Betta. I really enjoy him. you could keep one or two small fish like terra. I would not personally put a goldfish in there. goldfish are very messy Fish and Aquarium even though it has a filter really isn't sufficient for that unless you want to do water changes a lot
