Do I need a heater for my aquarium?
In most cases, yes. If you're keeping tropical or marine fish and you don't live in an area blessed with sun and warm temperatures year-round, then you'll need a heater for your aquarium. Some temperate or coldwater fish may also appreciate a heater, especially during colder months or if they're being kept inside a garage with no heating.
Before you purchase and install a heater, it's worth checking two important things. First, how big is your aquarium? A large volume of water will require a heater with a large wattage rating. And two, what kind of fish are you keeping? Some fish like a range of temperatures, while others prefer a specific, stable temperature. Do your research and always try to keep fish that like similar temperatures together.
