Back in September, I reviewed the Tetra Water Wonders<\/a><\/strong> aquarium kit. In case you’re not familiar, it’s a 1.5 gallon tank. I’d usually not get one so small, but I was looking for a home for a single Betta fish. And I wanted a tank with a cover so that my cat wouldn’t make his fish entertainment into lunch.<\/p>\n

One challenge in dealing with the smaller tank was finding a heater tiny enough for it. After reading several reviews, I purchased the Tetra Submersible Heater<\/a><\/strong> for 2-15 gallon tanks. They’re available at stores like Petco and Walmart, and you can enter your ZIP at Tetra<\/a> to find a dealer.<\/p>\n

Though I wish I could adjust the thermostat on this heater, I’ve been happy with it overall for the four months I’ve used it. The heater keeps the water at a constant 78 degrees F, and that’s what it’s designed to do: automatically adjust your water temp to 78 degrees F. If you need some other temperature, you’ll have to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n

The 50-watt heater is very easy to install and the suction device maintains a firm grip. You’ll be able to see when the heater is active by the presence of a red indicator light. The heater is only 6.25 inches tall, so it’s easy enough to hide, though it’s sort of prominent in my small tank. In case you’re wondering, that white stuff at the top of the heater is some kind of fish gunk-slim I need to clean. Oops!<\/p>\n

Have you used the Tetra heater for smaller tanks<\/strong>?<\/p>\n
