Aquarium heater is too much trouble? What can I use instead?

By Aquaboy on Monday, July 19th, 2010 | 2 Comments

Alright so I’m getting African Dwarf Frogs (2) and they need a heater which i have. They will live in a 2 gallon tank and i got a mini heater, but it’s far too much work, like, my lamp is right by their tank and in these instructions it tells me not to put a lamp by the tank. What else could I use instead of the heater to keep them warm during the winter? thanks..

Aquarium Heater Problem?

By Aquaboy on Sunday, July 18th, 2010 | 4 Comments

So i have my newly set up 60 Gallon Tank. I went to a tropical fish store and bought 11 starter fish for my tank to get everything going. I have a 300W Theo Heater. My problem is that I have the heater set to 78 degrees which is what was recommended. I also have a separate thermometer that is inside the tank. Even though I have the heater set on 78-79 it will not stay on and my thermometer is reading 73-74 degrees. What is the problem? Is that kind of temperature difference a big deal? I want my fish to be as comfortable as possible. Especially considering they are the starter fish so they already have enough stress as it is with the somewhat of a unhealthy sterile environment they are living in. Help?

When can I add a fish to my 55 gallon aquarium?

I put in the right amount of stress coat and it says it should instantly neutralize the harmful chemicals in tap water. after how long should i be able to put in a fish?
i have the heater running right and the filter so do i need to wait the usual 5 days for it to become safe?

Theres a roof coming from the house that would cover it. I live in Florida but sometimes the temp drops below freezing in the winter. would a tank heater work?

I’m having a hard time with aquarium temperature?

We are going threw a hot spell right now where I live, my aquarium temperature is currently 84 in both my tropical and goldfish tanks and both heaters are OFF. I have frozen gallon bags of water that I put in the tank to help cool it down I found that bags of ice cubes just melted to fast and I can re-use the whole frozen bags. My bags are also double wrapped as I had a problem earlier where the bag burst and the water went into my tank(it was untreated when it went it but I double treated my tank with tap water conditioner). Does anyone know of anything I can do besides the ice and water changes? I would really appreciate it thanks!
I know warmer water means less oxygen thats why I purchased an air pump and bubble stone for my tanks. My fish LOVE them they swim and play in it its cute and everyone looks a lot happier and all of the gasping has stopped.

I have an A-751 Elite Submersible Pre-Set Heater – 100 W. I was wondering if it was fully submersible. I don’t want to try it because it could might break. Can someone please help me.
