How to Select a Heater for your Aquarium

Many factors can go into selecting a heater, including aquarium size and features of the heater. Watch our video to learn how to find the perfect fit for your aquarium and fish!

There are a lot of different routes you can go with a heater. Where is the aquarium located? What features are important to you? Do you want a heater you can adjust the temperature to? Or do you want one that comes preset to a certain temperature?

Location can affect water temperatures. Ambient room temperature in a room also plays a role in how the heater works. If your home is kept cooler in the winter, the heater will likely have to work harder to keep the aquarium at a certain temperature.

Temperature consistency is more important than accuracy. Proper water circulation is also important because it helps maintain a stable temperature throughout the aquarium.

Aqueon has a large offering of heaters for aquariums, ranging from one gallon to 100 gallons. All Aqueon heaters come with a Safety Shutoff, which prevents the heater from overheating if accidentally removed from the aquarium while still plugged in.
