Most aquarium fish come from warm waters (tropical fish) and need to be kept above room temperature. Aquarium heaters are inexpensive and keep temperatures stable no matter what it's like outside. Aquarium heater should be considered a critical piece of equipment, just like a filter. Temperature fluctuations often go unnoticed by aquarists and can cause stress to fish and corals. Most heaters include a built-in thermostat to select the optimal temperature for your tank, however, the use of a thermometer to monitor the temperature is highly recommended. Few aquarium heaters are available: Glass heaters, titanium heaters, cable heating system, substrate heaters.
