ViaAqua 100-Watt Quartz Glass Submersible Heater with Built-In Thermostat

This heater has no problem keeping a 10 gallon tank up to temp. The temp reading on the front is easy to see with it's orange coloring. The included mounting clip is sturdy with large suction cups that easily keep the heater in place.

It's not noted in the item info but this heater operates from 68 to 93 degrees. Good for tanks that need a higher temp for some tropical fish.

I bought this for two baby yellow bellied sliders. They seem to be doing fine and I believe it has helped stimulate appetite. The temperature was pretty accurate according to the built in thermostat. I have it running 80 degrees farenheit. It was only a few degrees higher than what it was supposed to be when I measured with a digital thermometer. I also have this at an angle even though it says in the instructions that it is a no no to do so. There is a caution in the manual that says something like wash your hands after handling with the product because it contains chemicals that are known to cause cancer and birth defects...I don't know what that could be though...The whole unit has been submerged with no problems. The heater does a good job of regulating the heat. Note: do not place the water outlet of your filter right on the heater. It will cause a temperature drop and cause the unit to heat up uneccessarily. Has a nice light that turns on to let you know when it is heating.

Got this the other day after another heater I had purchased was not working. I like how you can adjust it to the temperature you want and it's very easy to see the on light when it's working. It's been keeping my tank at a stable temperature for a few days. I have noticed that it is off by about 3 maybe 4 degrees but that's not a big deal plus I'm using it in a 10g tank. The one I have is fully submersible and the directions have a picture that clearly shows the whole unit under water. Hopefully it stays working in the weeks to come.

I bought this after buying another heater from walmart. Dont buy from walmart. Their products are poorly made, and break after a few days. This heater is great! My heater is set to 76 degrees and my tank is 76 degrees.

Installed the heater and observed the temperature for about 5 hours. When I left for work, everything is fine.....when I returned from work 7/10 of my little guys were dead. The three that survived were a Betta and two snails. I work from 7pm-7am and when I walked through the door I bee-lined to the tank to see how their doing. Well 7 fish were floating. Not bitten or chewed(I inspected them). The temp was like 89 or 90! I set the dial to 80F and it stayed that way the whole time I was watching them before work. Idk if the temp in my house dropped so low, and that's why the temp was water high or what. But that was the whole reason I wanted a heater to keep a steady temp!

(I didn't get to name them yet :(

Update:(October 21, 2012)...Time has passed and everything is fine now. I do not alter the temp on the heater at all. And I do have a separate thermometer BTW, you cant really tell what temp the heater displays.

the thermostat works great and is very stable.

I should have set up another tank, yea, but I needed to get a heater in there asap because the water was too cold. Poor fish though.....
