Would this be okay to heat up a small outdoor pond? Its about 300 gallons. I wouldnt plan to leave it outdoors full time.

Maybe if you're in a warm climate. I have a 350gallon system in my basement in the NE and this cannot handle needed temp by itself.

I am heating 230 gallons of water to 78 degrees. room temperature ranges from 66 to 68

I have two pannels for 5,000 gallons, and it is not that warm, you should use around 6 pannels

Maybe a little, but probably not much. You'll experience a lot of heat loss where the water isn't covered. I actually wish I had purchased a bigger one because of this.

According to the instructions it is not intended for outdoor use. We purchased it to use in an outdoor pond, and wrapped the controls in a plastic bag to protect from moisture.

The Aqueon is been unreliable for temp, I bought a Eheim heater and its holding temp well, for a tank your size the 300w should do the trick, rated for up to 250g

We are using it in a pond. Our pond is approx. 300 gallons and it works well. I do not think it is for fish tanks. It is for outdoor ponds

I have mine in a bird bath and it works great!!! but I don't think this I big enough to work in a bigger pond

I think maybe 2 or 3 of these would work for a pond that size. It is fairly bright for it's size, but it's very very small.

It can be run "all the time", but unless you have a LARGE pond, I'd recommend a smaller unit...this one is fairly powerful.

I have a 750 watt. I live in mid Michigan. I have it on a timer for 12 hours at night. It keeps a open area usually about 2 feet around the heater (pond is less than 3 feet deep there) most days. When its really cold, the circle shrinks. My fish seem to do fine: I have it near the rock pile they hang out in. You could go a higher wattage or just have it run longer. I got it in 2011 I believe so this will be its 3rd winter. good luck

It is a little too powerful for an RV. I'd look at a couple smaller units rather than this one big unit. We use it to heat our 3-car garage. In a small space it would be WAY too hot near the unit.

I just sprinkled it in my pond about 3 cups full, we have about a 3/4 acre pond and that worked good.

Good question, because it's difficult to know. Last year I didn't realize mine was not working until it was too late and the pond had frozen solid, locking the heater in. I didn't replace it and this season am using a small pump instead to maintain an open area in my pond's surface. Good luck!

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...

You Can't submerge this Pump. You will need 10 to 20 feet of tubing to reach the Bottom of your Pond. I use a Ring Diffuser that I purchased off of Amazon...Danner 14580 Large Ring Air Diffuser 7 Inch. I have had my Pump running for 3 Straight Months with no Issues. It will work just fine for you, and should keep your Pond from Freezing over!

This unit has nothing to do with water. It needs 50 amps at 12 volts to operate. Just not feasible to use in a shed. If you have 120 or 220 electric to your shed, go with an electric or gas (propane or natural gas) space heater. I had a friend who made a small solar collector to heat water and used a cast iron radiator unit from an old house to heat this sized building (10x12, insulated). On sunny winter days he had to shut it down to control the temp inside. No pump, just natural circulation of heated and cooled water. (Science....OOOOH)

It keeps my 150 gallon pond a warm 75 degrees, but it fluctuates. It is made for an aquarium, so I would guess it will take a while, but it will warm a 250 gallon tank...though it may fluctuate some. Mine fluctuates about 10 degrees (5 up, 5 down), keep in mind mine is outdoors and the outside temps fluctuate too. ;)P.S. I am very happy with my purchase!
