Can I put a 10 gallon heater in a 2 gallon fry tank. (the heater was meant for my betta tank) OR Put like a 20 Gallon heater in a 10 gallon tank. (it says UP TO 10 gallons or 20 gallons. Does that mean it will suffice for stuff that size or that size and below?)

What watts are the heaters?

Chase J

Idk Lets just say a stealth Marineland Heater Meant For a 10 gallon tank. Can it go in a 5 gallon (it says UP TO 10 Gallons)

Chase J

25 or 50 watts lets say that. The Stealth Visi-Therm 25 or 50 watt heater. (%0 is for 15 gallon tank I have the 100 for my 20 gallon)

Hello

Lucy

Patience, Chase.

I use 50W in my 5g's and 10'g's
The 50W says it's for for to 15g, so I'm guessing you have a 25w? It should say the wattage on the heater.

Chase J

kk ill just get the 50 watt then thanx lucy.

I have a Kritter Keeper thats a couple of gallons....maybe 3? I picked up a small tetra heater rated for 2-15g's at walmart for it. It seems to work well. Keeps the water at about 78F

theoretically any heater rated for a larger size tank should work in a smaller one, it should still shut off when the temperature gauge reads whatever you set the heater to. it doesn't always work, but it should

Oh Yeah The Safety Shut Off I Forgot About That Thanks Alex
