5 Stars Aerogarden heater
I use one of these in each of my aerogardens because I keep my house quite cool. Works wonders on the veg crops!

4 Stars Worth every penny!
I got this mini heater for my betta. It really does its job! I used it for my 1 gallon tank and it keep the water temperature at 76 and above. My betta is pretty satisfying with that.

5 Stars Ideal for Betta owners
Last weekend I had just completed a water change for my two male Bettas when I noticed that the temperature was 72 degrees. For Bettas, they need to be in water that is at least 74 to 76 degrees. So I made a unexpected run to the nearest major pet retail store and bought the Mini Heater. The tanks I have is a 1 gallon Mini Bow junior Aquarium and a large Kritter Keeper. I found that the Mini Heater was ideal for the Kritter Keeper. The temperature of the water got to the ideal temperature for my Betta Osirius which was 78 degrees and remained at that temperature over night. The Mini Heater in my Mini Bow aquarium heated up too quickly and got as high as 82 degrees (this led me to order online a new larger home for my other Betta Anubis). I really like how silent the heater is. I think this heater is more appropriate for 2 gallon tanks than 5 gallon tanks judging by a few less than impressed reviewers. I am thinking that the more room and water in the tank, the less higher the temperatures will rise). For Betta owners who have smaller tanks and bowls than 5 gallons, I wholeheartedly would recommend this heater.

2 Stars MINI HEATER Aquarium Heater 7.5W for Tanks up to 5 Gallons UL
This heater doesn’t hold the temperature even in 2.5 gallon tank. My betta fish was always in the cold water. The temperature didn’t rise even to 78F.I am very unhappy with this product. It was OK for 1 week then the heater was cold itself. I don’t know why it stopped heating, maybe it broke.

5 Stars Cheap and Great!
I have been using this product in my tank for about a month now, and it has kept the water temperature at a steady 75 degrees. I have had no problems with the product. It is doing exactly what it is supposed to.

5 Stars Great Little Heater
I bought this for my betta’s 1 gallon bowl, and at first I was afraid it’d be too much for such a small bowl, but it works great! Though the temperature fluctuates several degrees, it keeps the temperature within a few degrees of 80, perfect for my betta. Since I’ve gotten this heater, he’s been a lot more active now that the water is a better temperature for him. It’s also small enough so it’s not obtrusive and you can easily hide it behind some plants or under the gravel, I hardly notice it in the bowl anymore.

5 Stars Perfect for 2 gallon tank.
Brings the water temp in a 2 gallon tank to the perfect level. The tank is on a cold granite countertop in the kitchen, where the air temp is about 72 degrees.

I would say it’s only good for a 2 gallon tank. Only downside is that it will bring the water temp up 5 degrees, so you do have to watch the surrounding temperature.

1 Star Not very “mini”, and keeps water way too warm.
I bought this unit to replace a broken heater, and with the house thermostat set at 68 degrees, overnight, this heater had my 2.5 gallon temporary aquarium at close to 90 degrees, and this is with the aquarium light never having been turned on! I lowered the house thermostat to 65 degrees, but the tank still remained well above 85. Today, I lowered the house thermostat to 60 degrees while I am at work, to see if this reduces the tank temp. I am afraid to just turn the heater off completely because I don’t want to kill my fish. Remarkably, they seem to be doing okay and look healthy and active.

In any case, this heater is not adjustable, so I need to purchase yet another heater with better controls so I can slowly get the aquarium temp. back down to a more reasonable temp. range.

I should have just spent the money on a proper replacement in the first place, but when I read that this unit warms a 2 gallon aquarium by approx. 5 degrees, I thought it would be perfect, as this would have brought my aquarium temp. to approx 73 degrees, which is what was at before the old heater broke…just right for the two female platies I have in this temporary tank. This heating unit has danergously raised my tank temp. by slightly over 20 degrees, however! Without this heater, the tank was at slightly below 70 degrees.

Either I have a malfunctioning unit, or this is a horrible heater.

Also, in spite of being a mini heater, it takes up a large amount of space, and the one I received is not flat. It likes to curl and bend, which makes it more cumbersome in the little tank.

Thank goodness this tank set up is temporary, while I wait for my larger tank to cycle. I hope my poor platies survive this ordeal.

4 Stars Great item
This aquarium cleaning vacuum works really well. No bad messes on the carpet anymore. My only concern is the amount of water wasted while vacuuming but other than that it is great.

5 Stars I LOVE IT
I changed my 29 gallon tank’s water so easily. It took 1 hour total(because i had to figure it out for the first time). the second water change will probably take 30 minutes. No lifting…no dripping…no stress…..WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!!

5 Stars A must item for water changes!
Water changes are now so simple!

All I have to do is put one end, the ‘cup’, in the water, and the other end outside in my garden. I suck into the tube a few times, and the water from the aquarium starts flowing out. It’s that simple. The aquarium water is actually great for my plants, since it is rich with nutrients.

The fact that the tube is so long (you can buy an extension to it) makes it so much easier to directly reach my garden. Previously, I had to empty my aquarium’s water in water buckets.

I highly recommend this item to all aquarists, especially those with very big tanks (mine is about 800 liters).

5 Stars Back Saver
I bought this item as a gift for a friend. i have one that i use all the time to clean my 55 gallon tank and when i saw my friend carrying buckets of water across her house to clean her tank i knew this would be perfect for her. She loves the simplicity of it all and says her back thanks me.

4 Stars Makes cleaning a JOY!
The python has made cleaning my 55 gal tank sooo much easier no more lugging 5 gal buckets from my bathroom to the living room again! The reason why I gave a 4 rather then a 5 was the first time I used it a bunch of gravel got sucked through the 25 feet of tubing what a pain to remove. However after that one mishap cleaning is a breeze and fish are MUCH happier!
