A while ago, the first snow fell in northern China, the snow has been flying, and the sky, in the capital city of Beijing, the Forbidden City snow-capped, became a world of snow. Not to mention raising the latitude of other countries, how a northern scenery!
In the Northern Hemisphere where winter has arrived, hobby fish breeding friends, are becoming worried.
At present, there is a big temperature difference between day and night, and many fish have very high requirements for water temperature, if they do not reach the right temperature, they will die immediately.
This is when the heating rod in the fish tank is especially important, the fish tank heating rod can not only be used to ensure the water temperature of the ornamental fish, to maintain the water inside the moisture, but also to treat some diseases, such as white spot disease. Thus, the fish you keep will grow up healthy.
So how should we choose the aquarium heater? Is the more power the better or do we need to choose according to the size of the fish tank?
Selecting a heater, you must consider the issue of power matching, generally speaking, every 5 liters of water requires 10 watts of power. For example, a 90 cm long, 30 cm wide, 38 cm deep aquarium with a volume of 100 liters should be selected with a 200-watt heater. For larger, 90 or more aquarium tanks, you need to use two 100 watt heaters, and place them at both ends of the aquarium so that the heat is evenly distributed, the effect is better.
Now, small aquariums are also equipped with high-powered heaters, but if the performance of the heater is not good, the danger is very big, especially when the heater does not normally “work”, the water will quickly become hot, even boiling, and scald your fish, the high temperature so that the glass tank may also burst.
Also, the smaller the aquarium, the faster the temperature changes. Too large heater work will be frequent start and stop, very easy to damage the thermostat control components and lead to heater failure. On the contrary, a large aquarium with a small power heater, only reaches its maximum load, when the ambient temperature is too low, it is not much use.

· Please unplug the heater and wait for it to cool down for about 5–10 minutes before you do a water change or move the heater.
· To well install the fish tank heater onto the tank wall, we suggest slipping the suction cup clip to the top 1/3 of the heater tube.
· We suggest installing the submersible heater underwater where close to the water intake, you can place it vertically or horizontally, but placing it vertically will not take up too much space.
