Will a 5 gal water feeder fit on It or would it be too big?
770202
If this helps, I'm using my 125 Watt water heater with a 2 gal feeder and it does not cover the entire surface area of the heater platform, leaves about 2" of uncover heater surface all around.

Yes, a 5 gal waterer will easily fit on it. I use a 5 gal metal waterer on mine and have had no problems.

The diameter of the heater is listed as 16.5 inch in Amazon's description. If the bottom of the 5 gal. waterer is less than 16.5 inch, and makes good contact with the heater, it should fit OK. I have not used the heater with five galllon waterer, but have had good results with metal and plastic base 3 gallon waterers

Of course it's possible to make a 5 gallon container in many shapes - but check your dimensions. The Little Giant is about 16" wide - I would consider that fairly wide; and most likely as wide as the base of your 5 gallon container. Also, keep in mind that it's not an absolute requirement that the base sizes match. If your water container is wider, it will simply be in contact with the heater over it's base size. Roughly 200 square inches (based on Pi R squared).

A five gallon bucket fits on it, but whether the heater could heat that much water to keep it from freezing would be something to test. The manufacturer suggests a 2 1/2 gallon metal waterer.

If it is the double walled galvanized water fount, yes. I purchased two 5 gallon double wall fountains and they work great! I fill them with about 4 gallons of water and hold up in temps down to zero. If colder than this you might want to stay with the manufactures suggestions.

As long as it is a similar weight and size, you should have no problem at all. My feeder works great.

As you can see in the graphic, the feeder is suspended under the dome. I would think a 4 sided feeder would work fine unless it is unusually large. I first purchased the small dome, but then purchased the large dome, and it is much more satisfactory for my needs. I hope this helps. Blessings. navydoc

A 5 gallons water jug (the kind that you place upside down into a water dispenser) would fit. You wouldn't be able to close the floating coolers lid though. I don't know off hand how wide a typical 5 gallon jug is. I don't have mine inflated right now, but the inside diameter is a foot, and maybe more.

I don't know about it dimensionally but this is really made for a 10-20 gallon tank. The force of the water flow might be too great for a tank that small. You need to buy a filter sized for your tank and I've never looked for a 5 gallon filter before. I just googled it and got some results but I don't want to suggest something I haven't tried.

Yes it will. I just placed it on top of the 5 gal. bucket and let it do its job.

I depends on the size of your pole. The one that comes with the feeder is about an inch in diameter and the receptacle on the feeder fits that pole.

Hi Melissa, good question and I think that you would be fine with a 5.0 gallon, the most popular size. I would also consider putting a frozen gallon jug of water in the container in the morning each day (like a big ice cube) which will keep the water cool and inhibit algae growth which can be an issue in warm weather. Also check out the Chiller Cover, which is a thermal cover for your Critter Cooler that increases sun protection 10X's. Hope this helps, best of luck keeping your big baby cool this summer.

possibly, it's pretty big but it will likley do fairly well. In a 10 gallon it takes up 1/4 to a 1/3 of the space.

I would think it would work. This will set down inside a 5 gallon bucket and the top elastic fits snugly over the top 1/4" of the outside of the bucket.

The filters are listed "up to 10 Gal tank" so would probably work, but you need to check the dimensions of the box to be sure it would fit on the back of your 5. It is listed at 100 GPH, so 20 complete 5 gal water changes per hr. Dimensions of the filter listed by mfr 6.4" x 3.8" x 6.3" ( 3.8, so you need 6: high and 6"wide to hang it on the tank. Hope that helps

No, the water would overflow and all you would have left is a small amount. This has to be used for feed so the gravity takes it to the tray. Suggest getting a similar size but made for water where the water is regulated.

I would think that it would be big enough. I have 2. My first one I have 2 6 inch air stones in my 5000 gallon fits tank which boils the water up 4 feet deep plus it has a 4 inch air stone in my 50 gal tank. And a 8 inch air stone in Mt 750 gal tank. And I have 4 4 inch air stones in my hydrophonic plant beds. One pump runs all this with plenty of air. The 2nd air pump I'm just now setting up. It work wonderful for me.

I am not sure - it would depend on the dimensions of the 5 gallon. My guess would be NO

I think it would be perfect if it will fit. I have a 3 gal and it doesn't keep it warm enough.
