Heater for a 5g

[TheresaM]

I need a heater for my 5g RCS tank. I currently have a Fluval Submersible 25 watt, and while it's adjustable no matter how low it's set the water temp is close to 79. Is there a heater for that size tank with an actual thermostat?

Thanks

As long as your room isn't getting super cold you could just leave it unheated. My tank in my bedroom is staying about 72°F.

Do you think unplugging the heater would cause a temperature drop that would affect the shrimp?

Yes, but perhaps better than too hot ?

Maybe check with someone who sells shrimp. I just know what I do with my tanks, and not a shrimp expert

I'm having a problem finding an adjustable heater as well for nano tanks. Following to see what else gets suggested. Don't buy DEEP BLUE brand Bettastik. Not worth the $10 and not adjustable.

Look for 25watt submersible adjustable heaters. Most tiny ones run under 7".

I'm currently browsing on Amazon.

I ended up shutting off the heater, at that point the tank temp was an exact 80. Has nothing to do with room temperature.

I have one of those flat Hydor 15w heaters that I'll put in to maintain a decent temp until I find something else.

I had a heck of a time finding a small heater to fit in the filtration compartment of my new rimless tank. I ended up going with one of these. Very sleek look and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. They aren't adjustable, but they have a thermostat in them which will turn them off unlike the heat sticks which just heat constantly.
