Heating

Tropical fish depend on steady water temperature, and a faulty heater can wipe out a tank overnight. We look at submersible, in-line, and titanium heaters, plus controllers and thermometers. Accuracy, overheat and dry-run protection, and wattage for your tank volume are what decide our picks, along with how each one is built to last.
