Buying advice

When choosing an aquarium heater, consider the tank size (use 3-5 watts per gallon), the need for an adjustable thermostat vs. pre-set, and safety features like auto shut-off. For larger tanks, two smaller heaters may provide better heat distribution than one large unit. Always ensure the heater is fully submerged and use a separate thermometer to verify temperature.
