Heater Quality?

Is this a good heater for a 2 1/2 gallon tank with two fish (one betta and one cory cat)?

I've wondered about those too. Can't wait to see the replies. I have 2 1/2 g. also and the heaters take up a lot of room. It says it keeps it at the 'perfect' temp. for fresh and saltwater fish, but what if you need to increase the temp. for ick? Hope there are replies soon!!

I had one in a 2 1/2 gallon tank, and it did nothing at all. The tank never moved off of the ambient temp of the house. I ended up replacing it with a 50w Marineland Stealth heater. IMO, save your money.

It was about $20 here locally, and they can be found online for about the same.
