pretty good Date: November 7, 2008
"I am currently using this heater on a five gallon acrylic tank. The heater keeps the temperature in the tank at 71 and I use a 15 watt lamp to supplement that which gets the temperature to about 76 during the day. I was expecting it to heat the tank more than that though."

Excellent choice for acrylic tanks Date: November 29, 2007
"I have a 3 gal lided/floresent lighted acrylic tank w/ 5" of EcoEarth. The directions state to apply UTH to the side of tank for acrylic tanks (NEVER under) toward bottom of tank wall. Works like a charm. Salt water moistened EE w/ heater (enough EE is in tank to cover heater on side wall) keeps 3 gal tank at low 70's temp w/o light to high 70's low 80's w/ light and 70-80% humidity. Hermies love to tunnel and play in deep EE and have temp varience from front to back of tank w/ UTH on back wall."

bad bad bad Date: September 24, 2007
"This heater will not heat my hermit crab incloser. Everytime i spray them they have to sit against the side of the cage just to keep warm. To top it all off this thing is peeling off the cage. I know its not soposed to do that. this thing does not work. DONT BY IT."

great for hermie lovers Date: June 30, 2007
"my hermit crab loves this product as much as i do i think that the only problem is that if you put it in the middle of the bottom of the tank it only gives heat to that area so try to put it on the place that your h.m goes the mot but overal i love it(and so does elvis!!)"

"I use this for my hermit crabs, do NOT put it on the bottom, rather the side because it might burn burrying crabs, overall great heat."
