Aqueon's US product page identifies a 5 W, fully submersible flat heater for desktop aquariums up to 2.5 US gallons, with suction-cup mounting. The reviewed sources do not establish this exact item's thermostat setting, supported water type or electrical rating.

Why consider this model?

  • A narrow source-supported candidate when a 1–2 US-gallon whole-number answer is within the Aqueon 2.5-gallon maximum, a fully submerged in-tank heater and documented shatterproof construction are wanted, and freshwater/saltwater compatibility, thermostat behavior and supply are verified separately. The current sources do not establish those latter three properties.

Tradeoffs to weigh

  • The exact current product page and its sizing chart/package support up to 2.5 gallons, but the 2025 catalog says 2 gallons. The same current sources do not identify a thermostat setting or control type, water-type compatibility, exact voltage/frequency, minimum waterline or a dry-run auto-shutoff. The linked family manual covers 7.5 W and 15 W models, not this 5 W item. Confirm the exact package and its instructions; the manufacturer rating is not a room-specific heating guarantee.
