The correct way to use the aquarium heating rod is to adjust the temperature, choose the right place to place it, fix it well and finally turn on the electricity to heat aquarium water.
For the aquarium heating rod you purchased, select the ambient temperature suitable for fish life and adjust the knob to the corresponding temperature position. It is best to place the aquarium heating rod on the drafty side of the aquarium to avoid placing it in the opposite direction, causing a large internal temperature difference in the aquarium.
Then use the suction cup you brought with you to attach the heating rod to the aquarium wall. The heating rod should be used in the water level of the aquarium to avoid exposure to air, which may cause the heating rod to overheat. After completing the fixation of the heating rod, you can turn on the power to the aquarium heating rod and start heating the water in the aquarium.
Precautions for using heating rods
1. Different breeding species have different needs. Small tropical fish are about 24 degrees, colorful, rich, etc. 28 degrees above.
2. When first checking, it is best to use the thermometer measurement value as a basis. The display of cheap heating rods may not be accurate enough.
3. The power should match the total volume of water, typically 1.5-2W of heating power per liter of water.
4. Heaters with stainless steel surfaces cannot be used in seawater tanks.
5. Do not feed the aquarium heating rod through air. Because it heats up very quickly in air, it can at worst burn the rod chheat, or at worst break the glass or burn your hands. Even after power outage, it cannot be removed from the water immediately. The temperature at this time is still very high, and it is also easy to burn people and burn the heating rod.
It depends on the situation. If it is summer, it is not necessary to heat the water temperature, but in winter, to prevent tropical fish from adapting to the environment. , the water temperature must be heated.
The heating method is as follows:
Use a heating rod (Tip: Ordinary heating rods are recommended to be replaced after two years of use.) First of all , place the heating rod. from an angle, then consider the direction of water flow, and finally the water cycle. Particular attention should be paid to placing the heating rod as low as possible on the water surface to ensureir that the water temperature is constant.
