can this be used in a 5-gal tank? Just a few guppies for my kittens to watch.

Yes you can. To save money you should find one that is made for 5 gallons or smaller. Basically you're paying for the size. If you get one made for 200 gallons you can use it too, it'll just heat up to its degree you set, (78-82F is ideal). But if you got a 5 gal one and tried to warm a 200 gal one it won't work because the power is too low and too small. So yes you can use this but for cost find something made for a 5-7gal.

Absolutely overkill for a 5 gallon tank. You need a 50watt at most. A 150watt would likely cook the little guppies.

I have guppies and red cherry shrimp. This is marketed as a betta tank but u can put other fish provided you follow the "1 inch of fish per gallon of water" guideline.

I have a 5 gallon tank and these do the job ok. I think if it were anything larger than 5 I would move up a size. Beyond that they are great, easy to change and only require a rinse before you install a fresh one.

Your 3.5 gallon tank would be too small for this heater because I use it in my 5.5 gallon Top Fin tank and the length of this heater fits just perfectly in there vertically. It is safer to use this heater in a 5 gallon or more size tank but not less.

Frankly, with a 10G tank you should just be doing weekly water changes of at least 25-30%. You can't really "let things go" with a tank that size and it's unlikely that you would have ammonia spikes with such frequent water changes. I have a little 5.5 gallon with a couple of albino cory cats and I use a test strip every once in a blue moon, but the water is always fine because I do weekly changes. Am looking at this kit for my 125 gallon tank, but would bother for a tiny tank.

You should be able to. Mine allows from 1 to 10 T per gallon and I believe this uses 5 (not 100% sure on that exact amount, but definitely less than 10.

In my opinion, it would be a little snug but could work for 1 Betta or 2 guppies. Both would be a little too snug and Betta do best with other fish if the are in large understocked tanks. Small overstocked tanks are more likely to trigger aggression issues

It should be ok..that filter is up to 40g.... That thing should keep your tank pretty clean. Plus you can adjust the flow so your not creating a whirlpool inside the small tank. IMO I'd upgrade to at least a 20 or 30 gallon... Hope I helped!!

This light does a great job with a standard tank, and with the red LED tubes installed make the fancy guppies I was keeping at the time look great. However it is not suited to a planted tank. Even with addition LED tubes (white and red) I saw little, if any growth. If you would like an LED fixture more suited to a planted take -- I'd suggest a Finnex Planted+ (found here on Amazon). The same sized Finnex Planted+ (20") is equal to the total price of the Aqueon LED and the two tubes you would need to have any hope of keep plants healthy and happy.

I use a stronger pump and put two in. Water is really clear for guppies. Goldish, no, because you would need to change water regularly.

I don't see why not if you are buying the smaller pellets and the fish are already big mouthed. For instance, these don't work well with guppies whose mouths are too small. The fish need to be able to grab the pellets. The pellets don't muddy the water so a tank should be fine. Is there room in your tank for the fish to jump at the pellets without hitting the top of the tank? The pellets will float on the water. They are designed for fish that have colors like Koi and large goldfish. Have you considered purchasing the flakes?

I have 2 male show guppies in my 75 gallon planted tank. I add a dose of Excel daily with no issues.

I use this filter in my 5 gallon freshwater planted aquarium housing a betta. It works amazingly. www.azoopalm.com/products/filtration says it is sutable for a 20-30 liter aquarium so at 26.497 liters your aquarium will do well with this filter.

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

We were using it in a 5 gallon tank with a betta and a bristlenose pleco and it wasn't too strong.

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.

Probably be Ok. You can try then add the five or nine gallon tank in-line. Depends on your water used.
