"5 gallon tank."I went ahead and went with the the larger 300W for my 45 gallon. The heater is super thin and the reflective surface is interesting. The bonus digital thermometer it came with has been super helpful, and is accurate. We wish the controls were available in Farenheit also to make things a little easier. Bought it as a chiller for the k40 CO2 laser. Pressing and holding the button for 5 seconds changes it from F to C readouts. Beware, but we are hoping for a good outcome!

- ✔ CREATES THE IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR FLORA AND FAUNA --- The eastern Asian fish species can survive in a freshwater environment. This heater by SunGrow will create ideal conditions for them. A few preconditions are required to allow it to run with maximum efficiency. The heater must be completely submerged in the water and the indoor temperature should be around 62-74°F.
- ✔ SUCTION CUPS INCLUDED FOR EASY INSTALLATION ---- Easily install the SunGrow Heater vertically or horizontally by using the built-in suction cups to attach to your tank. The best location to place the heater is in the stream of a powerhead or near the water flow, such as the outlet (or inlet) from the filter. This way the heat is evenly distributed throughout your tank.
- ✔ FULLY SUBMERSIBLE WATER HEATER--- This 10-watt aquarium heater supports 1.5 gallons (5 liters) fish tank. Its exterior is designed with tougher than glass and the sealed polymer can be submerged into your tank.

"Temperature!"It would stick out of my 30 g wide tank if I were to put it vertical. It took about an hour to reach 80f, which is fairly quick. My fish likes to get close to it and he has never been hurt by it. Was very impressed with the quality of this heater. I left seller feedback yesterday but have yet to hear from the seller. I will be ordering more of these in the future. We received the chiller promptly and put it into use.

"One word of caution."You don't have to worry about wide temperature swings with this unit. I have a few of these and I use them in my 55 gallons tanks and a 29 gallon tank. But I am single and don't have to worry about this. It is a bonus that the heater is titanium. I have 3 of the Fluval heaters, in various sizes. This heater is NOT fully submersible. I would definitely recommend this product.

"The FreeSea is amazing."I confirm it with my cooking digital probe thermometer. Just be careful and keep an eye on your temp settings when you have kids over! It took me only two tries to get it to the correct temperature. This has been in my fish tank for a few months now and it's been absolutely perfect! Very easy to install and the adjustable temperature gauge is pretty accurate. I think it works well to not stand out like other heaters. I got a hold of Amazon, who put me in touch with the seller.
