Will this work in a 55 Gallon drum?

Yes, will definitely work super in a 55 gal drum! Mine are plastic trash cans no less, not even metal. I have two heaters and rotate them among about eight drums in the greenhouse until I get more heaters and then will put them on timers. Have not kept exact records but my tap water is about 52 degrees and these heaters will raise temp about 10 degrees an hour to over a hundred no problem. I am at 7200 ft in the Rockies so the heat is needed!! Best of luck coloradobluej@gmail.com

Yes, it will. It will even work if you have it in, unplugged, and the drum has frozen solid. It'll take about a day, but the entire thing will thaw.

I think it would. I use it in only 5 gal. And that is inside the hoop house for the chickens. It would take longer in 55 gal but it doesn't know how much water is there. It may not be warm, but should remain liquid.

I use two of these in a1500 gal tank. We are in northern Ga so far is has maintained this tank to 70° I bought a thermostat to control temp works well does not run all the time

I have a 55 gallon tank also, this stand is amazingly strong, it's sturdy, you will be very pleased, I sure am. Hope this helps you.

I am using this in a 55g tank, so yes, bigger is better in this case. First one I got was defective after 6 weeks, so crossing my fingers the replacement will be trouble free

YES, I am running this on my 55gal tank for the last 5 months. working out great!!

I have mine in a 77 gallon tank and it works fine but, I would guess for a tank that size that you may require something bigger or maybe 2 of them. Also depends on type of fish of course.

I can't say for sure but I can say that this is a great light system for a planted tank. I believe it would be more than enough for your 55. I have several of these fixtures on planted tanks and they work great.

I think it should, I bought the 48 one and it fits my 55 gallon. I'm not 100 % sure,might hang over a half inch on each side.

Im not sure but i use a wp25 for my 55 gallon reef tank and it works great. To answer your question i dont think so but im not an expert

This is the first of this style that I have owned. But it is powerful. I have mine in a 55 gallon and it moves the water around good. My tank is fresh water. My answer would be yes but I'm no expert on the subject.

If 1 lb (453.6 gms) is used to treat 10,000 gallons to 7.5 ppm Cl2 level (per their guidance), I calculate a 55 gallon drum would require only 0.66 gms to achieve 2 ppm Cl2 level.And if that 0.66 gms is 32% inert that comes out to 0.21 gms, IMO hardly worth worrying about. That said most people do not have access to a balance that measures gms accurately, I do. Which is the reason this usage indication generally has you make a stock solution of about 500 ppm to use for water purification.

It should do well in a 5 gallon tank. The only concern I would have is if it would fit, but with this filter you can position it either vertically or horizontally.

No. Do not waste your time or money. I had a 55 gallon... it fit perfectly, but I seriously couldn't even tell if the lights were on. There are 3 white lights in this whole strip. Do not purchase.

I think you'd have to keep it in a dry place. I use it for a 55g turtle tank indoors, and it works great. But I think for the price you could do better on outdoor "pond" filters.

No it won't, it is way too long to fit in small tanks. I had to return mine because it didn't fit in my five gallon tank.

I thought it was for a 70 gallon which is why I purchased . but turns out it was to small. So it may be for a 55 gallon

Absolutely. I have cut the top and bottom off over 100 metal 55 gal drums. It works great. You have to sharpen cutter blade occasionally.
