How long is it? Will it work well for 1.5 gallon tank? Can it be on 24/7?

About 4", but for a 1.5 gal a 5 watt would be better, you don't want to overheat. And it can be left on all the time.

Approx 4". I think the 5 watt would be better for 1.5 gal. I leave it on now that the room temp is only 69-72.

Works good in my 2.5 gal betta tanks, I leave in on all the time - but my lights throw no heat so it is ok.....when I had different bulbs that got warm I would unplug heater for a while. It is a great heater for when the house is cool.

Hello I will need to get into our warehouse and measure that to get an accurate answer for you unfortunately it is closed on the weekends Monday through Friday from 8 am till 5 pm standard eastern time are our regular hours of business. thank you.

You would need the 5 watt size for a 1.5 gallon tank. This one would be way too warm.

NO...it will get way too hot!! I had this in my 2.6 G Fluval and raised the temp to 86. MAYBE you could try the 5 watt but better to go with a little betta heater made for that size.

The tank holds 1.5 gallons, not 3 gallons. The unit is rated at 3.0 gallons output per day when running on high.

This easily/consistently keeps my 10G tank at 78-80F. Should easily suffice for a 1G tank. You could go w/ less wattage but I don't recall saving much $ over a smaller one.

I heat a 32x32 shop and don't leave it on constantly, on and off every other hour to keep it warm. A 5lb tank will last me about 5 days heating only in the 10 hour period there in an average outside tempeture of 30 degree

Dear Friend, I have this item, but have not ran it long enough to give first hand info on this part. HOWEVER, much research including reading the Owners Manual & other peoples reviews, leads me to believe appx 8 hours is a good estimate. Seems like if you run a light load, you might stretch it to almost 10 hours. This is for a 20 lbs. Tank. I have based my back-up supply on 8 hours and have decided to be happy for any minutes I get past that mark. Good luck, R2

The capacity is exactly 1 quart (1/4 gallon). I measured it. It doesn't last me through all night. By morning it's always empty and on auto-shutoff.

I run 4 hours in the am with a 3 hour nap and then on again for 4-5 hours. I also have a 40 gallon full of anubias. For such a small tank I would do, 3 on-3 nap and then 3 on

Because it is always on, it could overheat a 1 gallon tank kept in a warm room. In a cool room, it might be fine

No on/off switch comes with it. You could plug it into a power strip which has a switch though. 1 gallon might be too small for the intensity of the light. However, if you cover/mask the light well enough, it would be pretty cool. I say go for it, and get creative with disguising the light. Your tank will still pretty much be fully lit...could be kind of cool or even creepy depending on how you do it.

Yes it will be ok for it, i have one on my squared 120 gallon tank and looks very good. There are no dark areas in it.

I have it attached to a 5 gallon tank and it works perfectly. as far as putting it on a 20 gallon tank I am not sure how wide the tank is or how broad the spectrum of the blue light is.

I have a 2 1/2 gal tank and prob takes around 5 minutes. I have never timed it though.

This will be too strong because of the wattage, if you can find a 75w then go for it. I use mine on a 55 gallon tank but I wouldn't d use it on a tank that small.

My 24 inch long is exactly 24 inch , I have a 55 gallon corner aquarium and it looks incredible, I do run 3 bulbs in it , the blue colored light for it is great and the night time light is perfect for fish , I would get 48 inch if it fits on your glass . 2 24 's would not look neat to me on top

It will work well, thier are 2 settings Program 1 Program 2 with sunrise and sunset settings. Settings for time program. I use mine for a planted thereioum and works good on hi intensity for my moss and plants. You need to measure the hight from top of tank to reef rock to make sure you have the right amount of light. The kit has a chart onhow too, and best lighting settings depending on your requirements. Make sure you size it righr. You can also set moon light. The remote is cool to.

This is what I have for my 5 gallon. The light burned out so I bought another. This one has lasted for quite some time.
