We have a 2.5 gallon aquarium, with a Crown Tail Beta and 3 small Neon Tetras. Ideal temperature is 76F to 77F degrees. First, it’s not USB, and this operates on standard 110/120 plug. Exactly what I wanted. Installed the heater upright in one corner of the tank. I found that setting the heater to 78F keeps the water at 76.5F, measuring with a temperature probe furthest away from the heater in the opposite corner. Keep in mind that the heater is reading the water temperature at the heater, so adjust accordingly. I also use an “old school†floating glass thermometer for confirmation. It reads a constant 76+F. Setup is easy with suction cup, and adjusting the thermostat temperature is simple with pushing a button. The heater kicks on with a red light when the temperature drops 0.2F below setting, and kicks off with a green light when temperature reaches within 0.2F of set temperature. As it’s only 10w, you’ll see the temperature display drop until it heats back up. This cycle only lasts a couple of minutes. I must say, it works very well. And at only 10w, it’s not going to use much electricity. I’ll only be displeased if it doesn’t last awhile, but first impression is, it’s a winner.

This has been so great for my 1 gallon nano betta tank. Easy to use. Regulates set temperature very well. Love the size.

I got this for a sea monkey tank and I was worried such a small heater wouldn’t be accurate, but it seemed to be accurate compared to my test thermometer! It keeps the temps steady, even in micro tanks and I like that it has a digitally setting temperature control. Not all aquarium heaters work, especially small ones, but this one does the trick! The water was already close to temperature so I can’t say how quickly it could completely heat a tank up. But for the few degrees that I needed it to heat, it immediately started heating those few degrees

couldn’t heat 2 liters of water in brine shrimp hatchery to 80°, and the usb got so hot and had an awful smell i stopped using it bc i felt it was a fire hazard.

Keeps my 2.5 gallon tank at the perfect temperature for my betta and it’s even better since it has the digital thermometer so I can always check on my bettas temperature! The only thing I would say is that the thermometer part is very close to the cord so that’s a bit of an uncomfortable placement to constantly check on my bettas status. But it does have everything to get the job done for small tanks like mine

Works well and is a small size. Good for nano aquariums.

After reading the reviews, I set the 10W heater a couple of degrees higher than desired in a 3 gallon tank. I wanted 72 degrees, so I set it at 74. It took a couple of days for the temperature to reach 72, but it has stayed at that temperature consistently for a week. This tank is just getting started, so there are no fish yet. Probably best to start out with an uninhabited tank to provide plenty of time for the heater to get established.

I purchased two of these for my betta tanks. One of them is working great and the other one overheated so much the water was 88°! Thankfully it was a brand new setup and didn’t have a fish in it yet. Otherwise it would have been boiled alive. I really like the heater. Replacement policy was easy. Hopefully the replacement will work properly.

It is too early to say anything about service life but these are working better than Inhad hoped for.The rooms have been very cold here and a 50W preset heater simply couldn’t raise the temperature high enough above the ambient to keep betta fish comfortable in tanks of 5 and 7 gallons.Adding one of these to each tank solved the problem. The water temp does not match the set temperature exactly but it doesn’t matter because I always use a manual thermometer to double check.Once I had the water at my desired temperature they maintained it and the fact they don’t match set temp to actual water temp under these conditions is simply no big deal.The room temperature drops to 15-16C at night and is about 16-17C days and I’m happy if the tanks stay at 77F. I could have them up to 80F but I think the fish are better off a few degrees under that.The heaters have been in use about a month and so far so good, I’m quite pleased with them. They are very short and as heaters this size go, very unobtrusive.I hope they last at least a few years.

I'm using it to heat a small jug for hatching brine shrimp. At this price point, it's impressive that it has variable temperature settings and a digital temperature display. For the first few days, I monitored the temperature with an Inkbird controller and it proved reliable enough for my purpose.

Keeps the tank warm and my betta fish happy. Bought a cheaper one from the pet store with no temp control and it barely did anything, this one is much superior.
