Why we need Aquarium Heaters

The water temperature of a fish tank is an important factor affecting fish comfort and health. Unlike humans and other mammals, fish do not produce their own body temperature. They must depend on the temperature of the water to maintain their body temperature. This makes it important for them to keep the tank warm. Especially when you are keeping tropical fish, you will need a heater. A fish tank heater is a fish tank device used to keep the water in the tank warm, or more specifically, to keep the tank from getting too cold.
If the indoor temperature of fish is often below the ideal temperature for fish, or below the minimum safe temperature for fish, the tank needs a heater. Generally, aquariums require a heater for tropical fish, but not for temperate fish.
 

How to choose Aquarium Heaters

As long as you know the difference between different types of heaters, it's not difficult to choose the type of tank heater in your tank. If you have tropical fish, you need a fish tank heater. The heater ensures that the tank doesn't get too cold and that the temperature stays stable during the day even when the room gets cold, such as at night. For many tropical fishes, 78 degrees Fahrenheit is the ideal temperature.

There are two main types of heaters. The submersible heater is kept completely underwater. The second, more traditional, has a glass tube partially submerged in water but leaves the controls on the surface. Submersible heaters are better designed because they can be placed horizontally at the bottom of the tank. This helps to keep the container temperature stable and prevents the fish tank heater from being exposed during a partial water change. In traditional designs, it is important to remember to unplug the heater before changing the water; If the heater is accidentally turned on while the coil is above the water, the pipe will get hot and the tank may break when you refill it.
If your room is never 8 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than your target aquarium, an automatic fish tank heater of about 2.5 watts per gallon will suffice. If the differential is higher, it may require 5 watts per gallon. Keep in mind that the heater keeps the container at its target temperature even during the coldest hours of the room.

The heater will fail. In most cases, the contact that actually turns the fish tank heater on or off gets permanently stuck, either on or off. In the former case, your aquarium can get very hot, especially if the heater is larger than the aquarium actually needs. To minimize potential problems, avoid heaters that are larger than your aquarium's optimal size. To prevent winter disasters, use two smaller heaters at the same time, not one larger one. That way, if one fails, the consequences will be less severe.
