AquaTop GH-50W First Impressions
"Works as intended."My fish likes to get close to it and he has never been hurt by it. You don't have to worry about wide temperature swings with this unit. I like to keep it at 72 and from my thermometer it is reading at exactly 72. This product came in the nick of time! I recieved this product without the instructions or the added thermometer. It's pretty noticeable, but I don't really care. --The heater itself is a bit shorter if your tank is a short one.

AquaTop GH-50W Final Thoughts
"Works great."I'm in the process of setting up for tanks. Also were nice along the whole process. The line is there due to regulations in certain countries. I went ahead and went with the the larger 300W for my 45 gallon. Ick for instance detaches from fish at 86 degrees and dies at 89. This is a great heater that is very easy to set up and program. We would consider a replacement and then we would return the defective unit.

The temperature difference was very minor. This has been in my fish tank for a few months now and it's been absolutely perfect! Those turned out to be a hit and miss. Once I opened the box i noticed the quality of the construction.

AquaTop BC003408 Final Thoughts
"I like the size."I love the heater otherwise, but I'm afraid some water has gotten inside the heater. The heater is super thin and the reflective surface is interesting. All seem to vary between 1-2 degrees of each other which doesn't concern me much. Temperature is slightly off by running a little warmer. Maintains it well except when the weather is already warm then it over heats it. Keeps the water consistent and it's easy to adjust! You program it for temperature you want your tank to be.

"Just bought a second one!"It does blend well in some setups and may look bulky in others. I have only had minor problems with the suction cups. I hope these suction cups work very well. The setting always stayed the same. So when I first received it it didn't work and I was very disappointed. The temperature gauge is fairly accurate in my 55 gallon tank. This heater is NOT fully submersible.

AquaTop 10 Final Thoughts
"This is a quality heater."Checked the accuracy of the heater with an infrared thermometer. Two inches above that is a waterline for maximum. I use this little heater for my 10 gallon quarantine tank. You program it for temperature you want your tank to be. This is a powerful heater that holds temperature very well. It just cycles through to 93f and starts over. I will definitely be buying another one for my other tanks at bigger one.

"Peace out."--The cylinder or rod diameter is bigger. This heater works, but the dial it isn't very accurate. I appreciate the exterior temp readout and control module. They shipped us the upgraded version that also heats! Come on Fluval, expect better from you. It took about an hour to reach 80f, which is fairly quick. 210 gallon ones and one 90 gallon bow front tank.

"Overall happy."The temperatures are pretty accurate. The temperature gauge is fairly accurate in my 55 gallon tank. It took me a few days slowly turning the dial up to finally get it where I wanted. The heater protector was very heavy plastic and slim lined which is great. They promptly fixed the issue without any delays or drama. I adjusted the set temperature a little lower to be more in the range I wanted. Sometimes you may have to tinker around with the dial.
