Question 1

Tropical Fish Tank Temperature Too Hot

Accepted Answer

If your tropical fish tank temperature becomes too hot, this can dramatically reduce the amount of oxygen within it, causing your fish to suffocate. You will need to cool the water and agitate the surface to introduce some dissolved oxygen back into the water.

Question 2

What Heater Do I Need For My Fish Tank

Accepted Answer

The heater you will need for your fish tank will depend mainly on the size of the tank you will be heating. A heater with a high output would not suit a small tank and may cause overheating, whereas a small heater would not have a high enough output to heat a large tank.

Question 3

Do Planted Tanks Need Heaters

Accepted Answer

You generally won't need a heater if you have a planted aquarium without fish. Most aquarium plants can survive in a wide range of temperatures. If your aquarium is indoors, away from the elements, it is unlikely the temperature will drop significantly enough to harm your plants.

Question 4

How Do I Know If My Aquarium Heater Is Working

Accepted Answer

Aquarium heaters not only stop working during a power outage, but they can also break down. Most heaters will have a light that illuminates when they emit heat, and this is the easiest way to tell if it is working. You can use the back of your hand against the heater to see if it is slightly warmer than the water around it.

If the aquarium temperature has dropped significantly without outside influence, it is likely that your heater is not working and will need replacing. Before replacing your heater, always check the fuse has not blown first as this is a cheaper and easier fix.
