I’ve used this heater in a 2.4-gallon freshwater tank for three months. It maintains a steady temperature even during cooler nights. The plastic casing is sturdy and doesn’t crack. Easy to install and works reliably.

It’s perfect for my small saltwater tank. The temperature stays consistent, and I didn’t notice any hot spots. Only downside is it’s not very loud, which is good for quiet environments.
