Important Heater Note
Aquarium heater performance can be affected by aquarium size, room temperature, lid use, water movement, tank placement, and livestock needs. Always use a separate thermometer to verify aquarium temperature instead of relying only on the heater dial.
Choose heater wattage based on the aquarium size and temperature difference between the room and target aquarium temperature. Larger aquariums, cold rooms, or open-top tanks may require a different heating setup.
