Hygger HG083 75W Mini Aquarium Heater with External Controller | For ~75 L / 2 ft Tanks
The Hygger HG083 75W is a submersible aquarium heater with a five-key external controller - precise, dependable heating that holds a stable temperature in community and planted tanks. Set the temperature from outside the tank and rely on the smart safety system.
What size tank is the 75W heater for?
The HG083 75W is sized for tanks up to about 75 litres - roughly a 20-gallon tank or a 2 ft aquarium. It's a strong choice for community and planted tanks with tetras, guppies, mollies and similar tropical fish. Aquarium heaters need roughly 1 watt per litre - see our wattage & size guide for the full chart.
Key features
- Five-key external controller - set and read the temperature outside the tank
- 5 preset temperatures for quick, accurate setting
- Fast, even heating with a built-in thermometer
- IPX8 fully waterproof submersible design
- Explosion & overheat protection for worry-free operation
What temperature should you set?
Most tropical community fish thrive at a steady 24-28°C. In India night-time and winter swings are what stress fish, and a thermostatic heater like the HG083 holds a steady temperature through them. See our aquarium temperature guide for the ideal setting for your species.
How to set up and use it
Submerge the heater near your filter flow for even heat, mount the controller outside the tank, and set your temperature on the five-key pad. Keep a separate thermometer as a cross-check and follow our heater safety guide. For even heating in a 2 ft tank, position it where water circulates well - see our placement guide.
