Best Answer

Typically heaters are needed for tropical fish tanks. However, if you could guarantee the room temperature where the tank is located will be maintained at the needed temperature for your fish, then you don't need a heater. Most tropical tanks need to be maintained at temperatures of 72 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the types of fish in the tank.

What type of heaters can go in fish tanks?

Not all heaters can go inside a fish tank. The heater must be specifically made to be put in an aquarium.

It would be better for a first time fish owner to get one from a pet dealer instead of the internet.

Why does a upstairs hot water heater make a popping noise?

AS water heaters age, they corrode and also incur mineral deposits and sediment at the bottom of the tank. This sediment is what causes the popping noises when the heater turns on. It is mini explosions inside the tank. Having yearly maintenance on the water heaters helps to prolong your heaters from having this issue by flushing out the sediment buildup and replacing the sacrificial anode rods when needed.
