Aquatic plants and fish that we most often encounter in home aquariums live in a warm climate zone in their natural environment. The task of every aquarist is to create optimal conditions that are close to natural ones, which involves the need to maintain a constant water temperature in the tank. Both excessively high and low temperatures, as well as significant daily temperature fluctuations, pose a threat to every species of fauna and flora inhabiting the aquarium. Water that is too cold causes plants to wither, as they cannot produce new leaves. Low temperatures in the tank are also detrimental to aquatic animals, which become more prone to illness, and significant chilling can even lead to their death. The same situation applies to excessively high temperatures. To continuously monitor the temperature and maintain one that will promote the development of our plants and animals, it is necessary to equip yourself with an aquarium heater.

Regardless of the installation location, an aquarium heater with a thermostat can maintain the water temperature over a wide range (usually 18-34 degrees Celsius) thanks to its built-in temperature regulator. When purchasing a heater, we must consider the capacity of our tank - too small an aquarium heater will have to operate continuously, while too large a one may lead to overheating of the water. An essential complement to the aquarium heater is a thermometer, which allows us to monitor the temperature - both devices are available in our store Aquario.
