Common questions
Before you choose.
What size heater do I need?
Around 1 watt per litre is a good starting point. Use a little more for a cold room or a large tank.
What temperature should my tank be?
Most tropical fish do well at 24 to 27 °C. Some species prefer cooler or warmer, so ask us about yours.
Can a heater be too big?
Yes. An oversized heater can cook a tank if its thermostat sticks. Stay close to the recommended size, or split it across two smaller heaters in big tanks.
