It is very important that you purchase a good quality submersible heater with a thermostat when setting up your aquarium.  Cheaper does not necessarily mean better when it comes to aquarium heaters.  If you buy a cheap heater and it stops working, it could cause all of your fish to die before you realize that there is a problem.

 

Use the chart below to determine what size heater is necessary for your new aquarium.
