Foogoo Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Is there a company that makes small heaters? Link to comment
Physh1 Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Tetra makes some small heaters that can are meant for their hang on filters but can be adapted to many HO filters. Those are probably the smallest you can buy. They are a max of 4" long I believe. The smallest in tank ones would be 25 watts or so and around 6" - 8" in length. Cameron Link to comment
Foogoo Posted December 21, 2002 Author Share Posted December 21, 2002 You mean those Tetratec heater add ons right? How do those heaters work? Are they just regular heaters meant to fit the hole on tetra filters? I'll have to check them out... Link to comment
lizbeth Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 The smallest reliable heaters out there are Hagen Thermal Compacts. They make a 50 and 100 watt that are 6" long. Visitherm also make a fairly short heater. Link to comment

The only thing you have to do is know that they aren't submersible. The top has to stay dry so some mounting to HO filters is your best bet. Cameron Link to comment
SteveC Posted December 21, 2002 Share Posted December 21, 2002 Actually, Wal-Mart of all godforsaken places has a cheap 7-watt fully submersible heater. It has no thermostat or any other control. You plug it in and it's on all the time, so it could potentially overheat a tank. But it's dinky, maybe four inches long. Link to comment
