Heating Your Aquarium A good heater is the most important piece of equipment in a tropical aquarium. Fishes body temperatures are controlled by the water they are in, and most tropical fish need water of around 25 degrees Celsius. It’s a good idea to have an aquarium thermometer fitted to the front of your tank so you can tell the temperature at a glance. If a fish is too cold its body will slow down so it will not be able to feed and its immune system will not work properly so it will be weak and more susceptible to disease. At higher temperatures fishes bodies speed up. They are more active and feed more, producing high levels of waste. It will become difficult for the fish to breathe and for the filter bacteria to break down fish waste as oxygen levels are much lower in hot water. Being too warm can be just as stressful for fish as being too cold and they are likely to become sick.Aquarium heaters come in different designs and sizes so it’s easy to select one that’s right for your tank. They are thermostatically controlled, just like central heating, and keep your tank at the correct temperature for your fish. The most common heater thermostats are glass tubes containing a heater element to warm the water and a thermostat to make sure the heater switches on and off when it should do. These heaters are best protected by a heater guard which will prevent slow moving fish burning themselves on the hot glass and protect the glass from damage. Sudden temperature changes will make the glass break: To prevent this, leave the heater in water for 15 minutes before plugging it in and unplug it for 15 minutes before removing the heater if you need to remove it from the tank or if you are going to do a water change. If you don’t want to have a heater inside the aquarium you can pump water through an external heater. These compact units can be combined with an external filter to leave your aquarium free of electrical equipment. Disclaimer: This article is supplied for informative purposes only.
