need heater for my aquarium?
 

hi guys

i'm wondering do i need a heater to my 29g salt water tank?

thanks!!

Not if your house is climate controlled to 79F

thanks ross!!

Uhhh....I think Ross was being 'clever' there. You almost certainly do need a heater in your tank. If your water temperature ever goes below 78 or 79 degrees F, then you want a heater.

If your water temp ever goes above 81-82 then you need a way to cool it (chiller, fans or move the tank to a cooler spot in the house).

I do have a heater in my 165 BUT it has never been plugged in AT ALL!! Temp stays between 78 - 80 but does creep up if it is really hot out and the AC has been turned off.

In a 29al tank I woould say you need a heater. These guys cool down quite quickly if it chilly outside
