can I use this heater on a 20 galons fresh water tank?

Yes, you can, all it gonna do heat your water fast. And I like that, I always like high wattage over low wattage doesn't matter tank size, it makes my fish comfortable fast. Imagine you are in a room with size 100 sqft with a room heater for 1000 sqft, your heater gonna make room heat fast and shutdown till temp goes down again.

Not a problem... I'm using mine in a 6 gallon acrylic tank and I'm very happy with it. Keeps the tank at 75 in a 60 degree room through the winter. I would recommend this heater you wont be sorry.

The tank shown is just disposable. If you are using the heater to heat a garage I would recommend you purchase the hose and adapter to connect to a 20lb. propane tank. Running the heater on high I have been hard pressed to get more than 4 hours per 1lb tank.

One gallon tank? This would be seriously too much for that. I'm using it in a 26 gallon tank. There must be smaller and cheaper heaters for small tanks.

Yes but you will need to buy a 4-foot Adaptor Hose for 20-Pound Tank. Model# 66004.

I'm not sure about a tank that small. As long as there is enough water to cover the heater and keep it cool I'm sure it would work.If you decide to try it I would recommend getting a submersible thermometer and monitoring the temp to ensure it doesn't get to warm.

You are not able to do that. You can use 10, 20 or 100 lb tanks only. I wanted to connect it to my 1000 gallon home tank and they (the gas company) said I could not.

You will have to run cold water to the tank...you also need a dedicated 30 amp breaker to operate.

As stated you can use a 20lb tank but it won't last long. A 100lb tank or larger is best.

Not well, you will have to constantly wait for it to pump up. I've got a 20 gal and in my opinion it's borderline capable.

If you use It for extended time periods the more gallons the compressor has the more even the power will be. A 20 gal is mid range. A small compressor will do ok for small amounts of time but might struggle for prolonged usage.

I don't know if that is answerable. Would depend on ambient temp and other factors. My guess is 1 or 2 feet max though. The aquarium heater I have in a 40 gallon tank is only 40 watts and it cycles on and off and can raise the temp 20 degrees above ambient I think without being on all the time. So for just 2.5 gallons I wouldn't think you would need very much @ 20 watts per foot.

No, it gives off very little heat. But it will be a lot of light if you set it directly on top of a 20L. Elevated 6 inches above the tank you still may need CO2 in order to control algae.

I don't recommend 30 Gallons tank. I bought this for 10 gallon tank. It was not enough.And I found a problem. Connection is weak.(from light parts to AC adaptor)

It probably could be used for that. I have mine in a 20 gallon freshwater tank. Its very powerful and the waterflow is a little strong. Good filter though would definitely recommend.

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 -

20 lb tank is fine. I think you can burn a couple lbs an hour, but it heats up so fast I always turn it off after a 1/2 hr and back on later.
