Can it be installed horizontally? I have a 1.5 gal tank &amp; it will not fit vertically, but I like that the t can be set (unlike the mini ones).

Based on other reviews I've read I think it can be, and since its fully enclosed I would say its possible. To make sure I would check their website and even call to see what the manufacturer would recommend

If you search for Aqueon Pro heaters on Fosters & Smith and they have a sizing table there. It indicates a 20 gallon should use a Pro50 - that's their 50W unit. I sized mine up, in anticipation of getting a larger tank for our turtle down the road - something you might consider. And yes, they can be mounted any orientation you wish. Mine was submerged horizontal for a year, then we moved some things around and now it's on a 45 degree angle - the suction cups that attach it to the side of the tank make it easy to mount any way you want. These heaters are pretty rugged and have some nice features - I highly recommend them.

this item will fit tall or short tanks. I have the smaller tanks, and once installed there is simply extra empty space in the cover.

Actually I just put it vertical and it would work. I love mine ( I have two )!

Yes, it could be installed horizontally. A beautiful fixture and very reasonably priced!

Each side is a little over 1"... So it will need a little over 1" in clearance inside the tank.

Of course, horizontal is the way forklift tanks are mounted. but I would call a local forklift sales and maintenance company...perhaps a Toyota Forklift retailer. I don't know if they work when in the vertical position, but Toyota will. By the way, this is a very well-made tank and was cheaper than anything we could find locally. Highly recommended!

Hello Jo. Thanks for asking. You can place it at a height equivalent to the length of the tank draining tube. That's why they've given you the draining tube at a certain length, I suppose!But saying all that, my advice to you is to return it if you're in US, as you'll get your money back. It's a piece of junk!!!!

I mounted mine horizontal rather than vertical like the picture. Has worked great. No issues.

You might be able to use it. That size turtle is a little big for that size tank. I use two of these filters both in the corners and it works fine. You could try one and see how it goes. If needed, get the second one. Personally, I don't change the filters as often as they recommend and I've been using this system for probably at least 6 years.

Shouldn't be a problem mounting it vertically. Whatever works for you. I have mine mounted horizontally because my trolling motor batteries have extra terminals that easily fit the device. If you question the way it works like I did, then checking the switch with an ohmmeter is what I did. Works great. The switch that is....

if you do decided to mount it horizontal just be sure the reservoir is pretty much completely full, other wise if there is a lot of air on top, im pretty sure you will suck in more air then liquid, again I haven't tried this out myself, as mine is mounted vertical but when I was building it I did try to tilt it horizontal but I never turned to pump on.

I would advise not laying this on its side..if you have a stand it will fit underneath your tank..you can also sit it beside your tank..it not that big to take up that much space...but if you really are pushed for space then maybt you should invest in a HOB filter then...

As far as I know you can. You may want to get a stand for the light so that way it's not sitting directly in the top of tank or whatever you are using.

Most have little pegs on the corners that you can remove to make it the right size for your aquarium. I have never had one that did not fit. I have 3-55 gal and one 40 gal aquariums

If you have a larger unit, such as the CoolMist HTM-6009 then it should go in the BASE (referred to as the reservoir on the packaging), not the tank. There is even a little hole for it between the two sides.
