You would need the 5 watt size for a 1.5 gallon tank. This one would be way too warm.

These heaters are more efficient, which means you need less wattage than other heaters. So for 36 gallon glass tank a 100 or 125 watt heater will be perfect. Do not think more wattage is better it is not, to much wattage will throw off the nice balance that a properly matched wattage to gallon ratio will give you.Not to mention the more wattage the longer and bigger size heater.

It's fine, I use mine in a 55 Gal so you have plenty even if you decide to go to a bigger tank. Enjoy these are the best heaters.

This "tank" is only 2 gallons and the surrounding air in your home should be warm enough for any fish that would be suited for this little tank. Also, it's plastic, a heater would probably damage it...

This heater will make hot water until you run out of gas. I would estimate for a couple thousand gallons from a 20 pound propane bottle. Should be easy to hook up to a garden hose with an adapter. If you use the hose for the hot water side and make sure it is rated for hot water use .

What size is your Tank? Does the red light come on on the heater to show it is on when heating? I have a 75 gal. tank with a 300watt heater and it stays in the middle 70's.

It'll heat a 5 gallon tank just fine. Be sure to purchase a thermostat, if you don't have one already.

Any tank from a 30 lb to a 1000 gal will work. To choose the right size you need to consider how much you will be using this heater, How big the space is to be heated. Your local propane gas company can help you determine which size is best for you.

A 40 Gallon should have a 200 watt heater... it's 5 watts per gallon is the normal requirement

You will need a regulator (like your grill has) , in addition to the tank.We have our heater run off a 500 gallon tank, hard to tell how long a 30 gallon tank would last. I would guess over a month, but just a guess. We love this heater, no regrets.bob

I have a 2.5 gallon tank and it took my heater more than 2 hours to warm up. I was also concerned that it wasn't working but it warmed up after around 6 hours I would say. It stays at a constant 76-78 now. The red light is never bright unless the room is completely dark so I wouldn't worry about that unless it becomes competly unlit

On the front of the box it says it is good up to 30 gallons. I have a 20 gallon tank myself but I use the next one larger and it does a great job.

No. On average, a heated tank needs about 5 watts of heat per gallon, but bettas are tropical so 7.5 should be fine.

The higher the wattage, the more water it can heat. As Grizwald said, 200 watts will heat a 100 gallon tank. A 300 watt heater though will not only heat 100 gallons, but it will do it quicker and with more efficiency. The 300 watt heater will also click on less often to heat the water than the 200 watt. This means the 300 watt heater most likely ending up lasting longer than the 200 watt heater, especially if used in a 100 gallon tank.

It took mine under 15 minutes to heat my 2.6 gallon tank from 74 to 78 degrees. If I may, I would suggest that you check out a 50 watt heater, the 25 w is meant for 2 to 4 gallon tanks.

I would say I get a consistent 2.25 gallons out of mine -- 288 ounces. Your tank may need to be re-pressurized -- there are YouTube videos explaining how to do it.
