aquarium heater

An aquarium heater is a device used to maintain a consistent and suitable water temperature for fish and aquatic life. It usually consists of a heating element and a thermostat that senses water temperature. When the water gets too cold, the heater turns on to warm the water, and when it reaches the desired temperature, it turns off. This helps create a stable environment, promoting healthy fish behavior and preventing stress or illness caused by temperature fluctuations. Proper heater sizing and placement are important to ensure effective and safe temperature regulation in your aquarium.
