I have a outdoor pond with turtles and I'm looking for a good heater to keep the temp at 70 - anything out there?

A 1500W Allied Precision pond heater costs about $20 less and is is probably better suited to your purpose: Allied Precision 7521 Floating 1,500-Watt Pond De-Icer/Heater

The Catalina Titanium Heater 500 Watt is for aquarium. There is no available heater for an outdoor pond so far.

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.

This heater keeps my 75 gal. fresh water aquarium above 75 degrees in 50 plus degree surrounding temperatures.

I have a half filled turtle tank. I bought this a few days ago. My digital thermostat is at opposite end of the tank. Yesterday I noticed it rose to 82 degrees. The water was pretty warm to my hand. This may have something to do with the heat lamps being on as well. I now monitor the thermostat regularly and turn the water heater off periodically.

No, it is too large and needs to be fully immersed in water..go to google and key in heater for turtle tank...u should get an answer.

It shouldn't melt the plastic being that the heater is in a plastic cage to protect the turtle from breaking the glass heater inside...as far as keeping him warm it depends on how many gallons are inside of the baby pool this is rated for 20gallon aquariums. Plus you have to think about the outside temperature around the pool.

Hello BettaGal....We love our Aqueon Kit-,Betta Falls and have "enhanced" it with the Aqueon lights.HEATER - Also purchased: THE HYDOR 7.5 watt SLIM HEATER on AMAZON for $8.24. Works beautifully. We also have an internal thermometer to regulate the heating.I hope that this info arrives in a timely fashion and is helpful too.

I'm not completely sure what temperature your aquatic turtle needs to be happy. Our ball python "MoMo" has been thriving with this Zilla product. Good luck!

I would contact the company but I believe that it won't let the water drop below forty degrees since this is for my outdoor pond.

yes - it's a good heater and should work fine - just be careful not to heat the water too much - you can seriously cook the fish - make sure you get one of those thermostats that attach to the outside of the tank -

I believe this heater will be way too much for your small tank. I use this in winter only for 20 gal tank for a turtle. Hope this helps. Don't fry your fish!

I dont think the size of the pond matters that much. Youre not trying to heat the pond, youre just trying to keep a hole in the ice. What would matter more is how cold it is where you live. If you live in Minnesota, you probably want a stronger wattage than if you live in New Jersey, because you will need a stronger heater to keep the ice from freezing around it.

Kellie is correct. I have a 40 gal tank for my RES and I try to keep the temp at 76. I bought the 150W model an it just spends 95% of its time shut off. I am planning on downgrading to a 100 W so that it can spend 90% of its time shut off and still hold the right temp. The other benefit is that the lower wattage ones are shorter -- my turtle loves to squeeze in and pry the heater off the wall so a shorter one will be more difficult.

I would highly recommend getting a thermometer. It kept mine at about 76 degrees F. I'm sure you could use it for your turtles, but make sure you keep the temp in the turtle range and dont boil them. I don't know much about turtles. I think the directions it comes with says to mount it vertically, but as long as you let it acclimate to the water before turning it on, it should be fine no matter how it lays. The comment about how many gallons of water you try to heat is very crucial. I hope this helps!

I bought the Aqueon AQ10W. It seems to work quite well. It is about $15. I do not like that it is automatic and in summer it keeps the tank a little warm (about 85F). It doesn't seem too hot for the bettas, would prefer to be closer to 80F but they seem healthy and happy.

I keep mine in the garage and run a Hydor 25w Hydrokable Substrate Heater coiled on top of the compost in the second box from the bottom. This is the second winter I've done this and can keep it plugged in without if getting so hot that it drives the worms out of the top bin but still warm enough that the top bin does not freeze even with the recent temps at close to 0F.

I have been using a cheap $10 tetra heater. Have had no problems for 6 months so far. But the led lighta on my tank are quitting one by one. Im a bit disappointed in that because the tank was so expensive.

There's multiple sizes selectable here. I prefer yo run two undersized heaters so if the thermostat goes bad i in one it won't cook the fish. For a 39 gallon I'd think you'd want like two 100w heaters.
