Does this work on a plastic tank (my son just has a small 1.5 gallon plastic tank)?

No it is way to small for it. I would advise to when you change the water to clean it then.

No, not this model. But there are other smaller versions designed for a acrylic fish tank. Make sure you get the one made for acrylic and rated for your size tank or you will have a very badly scratched tank.

I think you have to look for a cleaner that specifically cleans plastic and not glass. I believe this brand and others make such a cleaner.

It should. It goes in place of the 5 gallon water bottle. Has to be top load, it wont work in a bottom load.

Yes It Will, But It Is Little But Big For Such A Small Tank. I Have A 100Gal Tank I Use It In And It Works Great For It.

The heater I have is in a plastic pond (200 gal.). The suction cups wouldn't work due to the slimy sides, so I just dropped it in. Works great. If your tank is glass, you should have no worries. I've had our heater for 2 years now and it still works like new.

The clamp does not fit over the plastic lip on tanks :(. However it is quite easy using a razor to remove a small section of the lip. Removing this does not effect the rigidity of the tank. So with slight modification of the tank it will fit.

Always Walsh anything before sticking it in your tank. It hast to be fully Submerged in water to work excerpt for the arerater on top. Google it to see. But always clean plastic before

It's designed for the 5 gallon. If the opening is the same then yes otherwise no. They sure work well.

I have used these caps on 3 and 5 gallon jugs. If you mean the 1 gallon jug similar to the standard milk jug, I would say no.

I would assume so. I use a 5 gallon and would imagine that a smaller one would fit as well.

I use 3 gallon bottles (smaller version of the standard 5) and they work fine. 1 gallon should work as well.

no it can't but this filter is not for small applications the smallest tank i would run it on is a 55 gallon

It will work with any size tank, but the smaller the aquarium, the more it will make the water move. I use it for power outages in aquariums down to 5g. I have not tried it with anything smaller. I think that the fish will adjust. It is better to be bumped around than to die from lack of oxygen!

yes, but it depends on the size. We attached ours to a 2.5 gallon and it worked fine

I've never tried it on plastic but think it would. It worked well on everything I used it on.

I'm not sure if it will fit in a 1.5 gallon tank; I have it in a 5 gallon tank and it works great! Here are the dimensions of the filter: 4.2 x 2.4 x 7.8 inches ; 10.4 ounces.
