I have a 30 gallon aquarium and I put mine right on top of the screen cover that goes on top of the tank it works fine!

It would be ok for just fish, but if you are doing corals and inverts, you will want a reef specific lighting. If I were you, I would find a forum or group that has experience with reef tanks and ask there. As I understand it, intensity and spectrum are very important.

I can't see why not, as long as you use the heater. I have two AD frogs in another tank under similar conditions as my Hagen Marina.

Yes! In fact, that's what I bought it for. :) It did a splendid job in getting everything in my turtles 29 gallon tank, it even cut the time in half that it would take with an ordinary aquarium siphon.

Yes you can. We bought this item for our 55 gallon tank without a glass top and the water mist has no effect on the LED lights. We love it Jamie

You can but you would be filling it every 2 days.I hooked mine into my 500 gallon home tank.

Yes you can,we have ours sitting on 2 clear plastic buckets and it raises the top of the waterfall to almost the lip of the top of the tank

I don't know. It's probably best to contact Tetra. I don't really know the difference in a reptile tank and a fish tank. My guess in that it isn't a good idea, since it wasn't designed for fish the tank may not be able to hold up to the pressure of the water. The glass may not be the same standard as fish tanks, the sealant may not be strong enough either.

I think you'd have to keep it in a dry place. I use it for a 55g turtle tank indoors, and it works great. But I think for the price you could do better on outdoor "pond" filters.

Bett....there are extensions for the intake and will work at a lower level. The output doesn't come with exemptions, however something could be made very easily (if needed). In my 120gal aquarium, my intake is closer to the bottom. I can drain the tank to just above the intake and it still runs fine. Keep in mind, these filters have a strong output. I do not have turtles and if the output is above the waterline, it may get a tad rough in there. Someone more familiar with turtles could probably touch on that a bit more.

I didn't use it for an aquarium. Put it in canning jars and put candles on top of it.

If you want the light to work, yes. Filtration would also be a good option in a tank this small, if its possible.

I don't think that you can. I am using it in a 75 gallon tank with a fluval fx5 filter. It is not performing like I had hoped. By the way, it has a very funky smell (new out of the container too).

I would say no. It is used for absorbing ammonia & odors from aquarium water.

Yes you can.. you are able to use this skimmer in sump, that will increase the your aquarium volume option up to 150gal.

Yes. It may take up some space but it will fit. It is good to use a filter bigger than your tank size (ex: 15 gallon filter for a 10 gallon tank) if you have some thing in the tank that produces waste such as a turtle or fish.

I use it for my 8/10 gallon nanocube saltwater tank. wish it pushed a bit more volume, but it works well. i've got a choclate chip starfish, curly q anemone, feather duster and small clown fish and two medium pieces of live rock.
