Taking care of your aquarium can be much easier with the right tools and basic knowledge. It's important to know what makes a tank suitable for fish and plants to remain happy and healthy. The water may look and feel pristine, but that doesn't mean your temperature is where it should be for healthy aquarium inhabitants. To maintain the best conditions for fish and plant life, check out our selection of quality aquarium heaters and aquarium thermometers. Aquarium thermometers are the perfect asset for monitoring the exact temperature of your tank. This will help you take proper action to set your temperature exactly where your aquarium needs to be. A fish tank thermometer usually reads in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. The ideal water temperature may vary depending on the particular fish, but the average range is between 74 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit (23 to 28 degrees Celsius). If you're looking for a simple aquarium thermometer, try the Marina Floating Thermometer. This product is great for both freshwater and saltwater tanks, and it has a marker to show the safety zone for most tropical fish.

Some fish tanks need heaters, while others do not. Coldwater fish do not require a fish tank heater, but tropical fish do need aquarium heaters to maintain the right water temperature.
You can usually leave aquarium heaters on at all times, as most have an internal thermostat that turns off the heat when the water reaches a specific temperature. Be sure to read and follow all the instructions for your particular fish tank water heater, including whether to leave it on constantly and how to properly adjust the water temperature.
The best place to put an aquarium heater is near a filter outlet or inlet or near a circulation pump. This will help ensure more even heat distribution. Install the heater according to the product instructions and try to position decorations away from the heater so the heated water can circulate more freely.
Choose the right aquarium heater for your fish tank by picking one that has the right amount of heating power for your tank. A good rule of thumb is 5 watts of heat per gallon of tank capacity if you have a tank lid and keep the aquarium in a room that isn't too cold. Many experts recommend choosing a fully submersible heater for greater placement versatility and a compact design that is easier to hide.
