It says it can raise a 1-3 gallon tank 5-10 degrees above room temp. I woke up the morning after i installed it and found my 2.5 gallon betta tank at 86 degrees with a room temp of 65. I'm glad i didn't buy this product in the summer or he'd probably be dead.
Without any kind of built in thermostat you have to constantly monitor your tanks temp and plug or unplug the heater.
It might be safe for a 5 gallon but if your tank is any smaller than that this heater is too powerful.

Just want to warn people that this heater is a fire hazard. Mine was only 4 months old when today I walked out to see smokecoming out of my aquarium. Had I not been home I don't even want to imagine what would have happened. There was quite a bit
of smoke in our home and when we were able to get our Betta out and check to find out this heater was melted. I am still shaking from this
experience and I plan on contacting the manufacturer.

I've had this heater for a few days in my 1 gallon bowl, and it certainly does well at keeping the water warm. You can't set it to a specific temperature, though, so you really need to keep an eye on how hot your water gets. My room temperature is at about 70 degrees, and this heater usually keeps the water at around 80. Sometimes, though, especially after it's been on all day, it gets up to more like 85, and that's a bit too hot for my betta.Basically, this heater is nice to have, but buy yourself a thermometer to go with it, and don't let it go unwatched for very long.

My Zoo Med BettaTherm Submersible Betta Bowl Heater 7.5 Watts is a FIRE AND SHOCK HAZARD. I measured 80 Volt current being delivered to my tank after shocking myself. The seals along the circumference of the plastic cover failed allowing water to leak directly into the heating element and connections. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS DANGEROUS PRODUCT.
