Will a cord for an aquarium heater be able to fit through the cracks in the lid? Also is there any place to put a filter?

There should be a circle outline at the top of the medium size and up keepers that can be cut out to fit a heater and cord.

Honestly it's for a 10 to maybe 20 gallon tank and will not fit your size range. You can check the dimensions on aqueon, I understand you want superior filtration in a smaller unit but you want be able to close your lid with this I'm there. Try sponge filters.

There are no filters necessary, but you will need to take it apart to clean it occasionally as you will get mineral build up around the heater and on the plastic.

There is no filter .. this Heater will only work in a small well insulated area FYI

Yes..a slim heater will fit... however running an airline into the main tank will cause the top to not sit right... there is no space for it. If you tilt the outtake of the filter up a little you will get aeration from the filter and won't need an airline

I got a 50w hydor heater and placed it in the tank. But its only because my betta couldn't swim well with the filter not modified. If you dont lower the water flow you can put in inside where the water pump is

You can add a heater, and you can do it with the lid that comes with the tank. I added some special equipment to my tank, that's why I needed a custom lid. As for the heater, I would recommend the very smallest kind they make -- one that is intended for goldfish bowls or beta fish bowls. Most pet stores carry them. You can slide it into a compartment in the back of the tank.

I cut a round of 3/4 inch mdf just slightly smaller than the diameter of the lid. I placed that on the underside of the lid and then bolted the dust deputy to that. I used a piece of rubber pond liner I had laying around for a gasket but you could just seal it with caulk. I use it with a 20 gallon craftsman shop vac and have no problems at all with the lid collapsing inward. I hope this helps a little.

Yes, the filter needs to be before the heater s o you keep contaminates out of it

I had the same problem, the bottom of the filter where the drain is , not tight enough, I had a hard time to tight it self the glass part and also the water drain screw, make sure you do not over tight, could break easy, at least that was the trouble with mine, hopefully that is with yours, I will not buy this type of filter again

It has holes in the top for feeding, filter and even a added heater. Yes it has a lid and the lid is fairly sturdy unless you put way too much weight on it. Depending on the filter and size you could put in another filter if you wanted to..I have this tank and my niece has one too..

I had the same situation however I had a window that I was able to open to run the cord to the filter and plug inside the problem with that is I had to fill the open space with towels due to running the AC, I have since had an electrical outlet added to the outside of the house.

The diameter of the filter base is pretty large, but with some rubber adapters, it can be done. However, you're asking for a catch can, not a breather tank. They're similar but a catch can is for connecting it to a vacuum source

You might be able to use it. That size turtle is a little big for that size tank. I use two of these filters both in the corners and it works fine. You could try one and see how it goes. If needed, get the second one. Personally, I don't change the filters as often as they recommend and I've been using this system for probably at least 6 years.

The heater has to have clearance from the wall, but the cord is not really visible unless you get close to the wall and look for it. I'd say it's a non-issue, personally.

It doesn't really hang out. There is a space between the glass and the filter in the inside of the tank about maybe 3 inches.

I suppose it could, however...I would suggest getting a aquarium thermometer and monitor the temp while it is on the side of the glass. After a day or two...see if having it buried in the sand/rocks insulates or keeps heat from transferring and warming the water enough (re-check your water temp after a day or two). Another thought to consider is that the cord is only 3 ft long and you will loose many inches having it buried. Best of luck! Hope this helps.
