Features 5

  • Beep Alarm, Fault Prompt: Our nano aquarium heater has safety features such as low water level shutdown and overheat protection. When the temp control system detects a malfunction in the equipment, it will give an error code alarm and stop heating to prevent any potential damage or injury. Note: Although the system will automatically turn off the power when a malfunction occurs, residual heat in the heating rod may melt the shell. Please handle it as soon as possible
  • Black Look & Mini Size to Hide Easily: The 20-watt Betta heater with a 4" long x 1" height heating element design takes up very little space, which could effortlessly fit into about 1-5 gallon small aquariums and is also suited for shallow water turtle tanks
  • Adjustable Temperature Control: hygger mini submersible heater includes an external thermostatic temperature controller, you can easily set the temperature by cycling between 59 and 93 degrees, and the digital display makes for intuitive viewing of real-time water temperature. Once the heater is on, an indicator light will tell you whether it is in heating mode or on standby
  • Intelligent Automated Heating: This small fish tank heater effectively maintains the water at a steady temperature, when it reaches below your set temp, it kicks on and then turns off when it reaches the desired temp. Also, with the memory function, you don't have to reset the temperature if you get power outages

Works well for small tank
Size: 20 Watt
I bought this for my 2nd betta tank. Most of my fish tank accessories and cleaning item are from Hygger. Their product has not disappointed and same goes for this mini heater. The heater looks like its well made and durable. Its designed to look nice and simple. Increasing and decreasing the temp is also very easy. This was definitely another good buy from Hygger ... show more

Great and high quality product
Size: 20 Watt
I have this heater in both of my tanks and it’s very easy to set the temperature and tell when it’s done heating. I have this with a thermometer and the digital temperature is completely the same and an extremely accurate heater that instantly shows the time. The suction cups are very strong and in 2 months it has not shifted at all. It has little to no noise when heating only when something happens like overheating or dry running. It is very reliable and it has never broken down on me, it literally saves set temperature when I turn it off ... show more

It reads and heats the tank.Two accurate tempts
Size: 20 Watt
This is the third tank heater, i've bought, and the first 12 actually work like it's supposed to. That's why it got 5 stars. My only complaint if I may add is the light. It's in the bedroom. I had to move the heater to the sidewalk, and I still feel like I need curtains around the front of the tank. So the lights don't bother me at night when i'm in bed. I only have 2.5 gal tank. ... show more

Simple and effective
Size: 20 Watt
Effective heater for my 5 gallon betta aquarium that was super easy to get set up. I appreciate that it’s small, adheres to the tank wall well, and covered in plastic so I don’t have to worry about my fish getting stuck behind it. I don’t have a separate thermometer for the tank so I can’t vouch for how consistent it keeps the tank water, but my betta seems happy and healthy. This heater was especially helpful when I was doing ich treatment for my fish and needed higher temps. Very easy to adjust as you just click the set button through different temps until you find the temperature you want it to maintain. It would be nicer to have up and down arrows for this adjustment, but I don’t mind. I will update if I have any issues with it working in the future. ... show more

Great for 5 Gallon!
Size: 20 Watt
This heater is amazing. It’s working great for my 5 gallon tank. The only reason why I gave it four stars is because it’s difficult to lower the temperature. There’s a button that lets you click to rise it but there’s not one to help lower it and after unplugging it, it still stayed at the same temperature, which is fine. ... show more

Number 1 nano heater
Size: 20 Watt
This is the best nano heater on the face of the planet. Suction cups hold the heater in place. Great quality and it perfect for my 2.5 gallon aquarium for betta. Has a digital thermostat and temperature read out of your current water temperature. Very accurate. Not need for internal thermometer or a external thermometer. Definitely worth the money to keep your betta healthy and alive. I have several hygger heater one for my 45 gallon tank and one for my 75 gallon monster tank. They have never broken. Just make sure when you put the heater in the tank for the first time or do any water changes to unplug it and wait 30 min before plugging it back in because the heater need to acclimate to the current water temperature before you plug it in. One advice most people getting into the aquarium trade for the first time make this mistake and plug the heater in right away and break the heater or shatter the glass tube. Also when setting your desired temperature you can only raise the heater by 2 degrees every hour till you reach the desired temperature because anything more than that will kill all your fish. Remember you need to acclimate your fish to the new temperature also or they will go into shock and die. So if your water temperature is 70 and you want 78 degrees you can only raise the temp 2 degrees every hour till your target temp is achieved. ... show more
