Small tanks need a small heater, and we're usually left to choose from a small, 25-watt glass heater or a 10-watt plastic, preset one. But Aqua Medic's new Micro Heater is tiny and adjustable, and it comes with a remote thermostat and digital display. What's more, it's only two inches long and it's low voltage. It's the best small heater we've ever seen!

We've all seen the spread of tiny pico reefs but just like when nano tanks emerged, you need a whole new set of similarly small equipment to run them. We can get tiny pumps and tiny LEDs, but the black plastic preset heaters are limited by not having an adjustable thermostat, a relatively low preset temperature, and compared to Aqua Medic's Micro Heater are positively lengthy.
Micro Heater has an adjustable external thermostat.The Micro Heater is aimed at heating aquaria up to 10 liters/2.64 gallons. It can be adjusted to heat from 18-24C/64-93f and will work in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. The thermostat kicks in to prevent failure in the On position and it switches off if exposed to the air.
Aqua Medic seems to have mastered heating using DC, not AC voltage (probably because of its small 10-watt power consumption,) and the Micro Heater runs on just 5 volts, and plugs into a USB. It's an incredibly feature-packed little device that, if reliable and reasonably priced, could revolutionize the Pico tank market for both fresh and saltwater.
Just over two inches long and an under an inch wide, this feature-packed heater is remarkable.Maximum ~250** Watts [10V @ 22A (RMS)]. Please note that the maximum values are reported for free radiating with minimal natural convection. Your values are likely to be lower.
** Power reported under free radiating/ no-load condition
Approximately 200-250 Watts. Please monitor to have less than [10V and less than 22A (RMS)**]. The highest values are for an entirely free radiating unit with natural or convective heat flow. Please monitor the temperature with a pyrometer or similar device and monitor the current and amps not to exceed any maximum condition. While heating up beyond 8 V and 19 Amps, please verify that the pyrometer temperature does not exceed -C. Very rapid heating of vertical microheaters may cause some delamination.
Connectors comprise One Set of Appropriately rated connecting clips.
Please note that limits cannot be exceeded on current, voltage, and element temperature.
Note that the maximum current will be different ( lower) if the unit is covered.
Leads should be able to carry the current, e.g., 10 AWG wire.
The base alumina ceramic is rated to C. For more information, please visit the MHI GAXP Spiral Microheaters page.
For control options, please choose either the Feedback Controls (recommended) or Open Loop Power Controls.
For more information on the BPAN-O-PLUS-120T controller, please click on the Power and Temperature Control Panel Pages.
The weight will be calculated with the control panel option when checking out.
The correct weight and shipping price will be shown in the final acknowledgment from MHI.
