Heating rods are often used to heat water in fish tanks, and the quality requirements for the heating rods used in water discharge are very high. The use of electric heating rods requires that the temperature is not easily too high, otherwise it is either heating the temperature or cooking fish soup. In fact, heating the water in the fish tank is very power consuming, so we can't just rely on the electric heating rod and need some auxiliary equipment, such as sticking some foam plates in the tank so that we can heat the fish tank. At the same time, we need to add a well sealed cover outside to prevent energy loss. The manufacturer of the electric air heater said that the electric heating rod needs to be replaced after a period of power consumption.

Experience:

The service life of the heating rod generally does not exceed two winters. After a long time, the wires will age and the contacts will oxidize, which may lead to malfunctions. Even for imported heating rods, the service life required in the manual is within 1-2 years. For safety reasons, heating rods can be used in combination with temperature controllers. There are many domestic temperature controllers with low prices. Set the temperature of the heating rod to slightly higher than the temperature controller by 2 ℃ to avoid the tragedy of fish soup.

2. Power selection of heating rod: Generally calculated based on cylinder volume, the heating power per liter of water is 2W. If there are 300 liters of water in the cylinder, the total power of the heating rod should be at least 600W. Winter heating may be a cost that consumes more electricity. I strongly recommend that you take insulation measures for the cylinders. Buy several 2cm thick foam plates, stick the back and side of the cylinder, and make a sealed fish tank cover, which can greatly reduce energy consumption. This only requires a little time and money, but it can save a lot of electricity. Why not? You know, every penny we pay is our own labor compensation. Why can't we carry wallets?

3. Placement of heating rods: When raising large fish, the heating rods should be firmly fixed because some large fish can easily lose their tails and smash the heating rods into the cylinder wall. Do not bury the heating rod in the bottom sand or directly contact the glass. Once, a fish friend shattered the glass due to uneven heating caused by direct contact between the heating rod and the glass. When the heating rod is tilted or placed horizontally, the heat dissipation effect is better, although it may not look very good.

The heat conduction of vertically placed heating rods is relatively slow, which reduces heating efficiency, prolongs heating time, and is more accurate if it consumes electricity. For bulky fish like Rainbow, try adding a sleeve to the heating rod to prevent the fish from getting burned. If there are two heating rods in the cylinder, try separating them on both sides of the cylinder and heating them evenly. The thermometer should be kept away from the heating rod to ensure that the water temperature does not come from newly heated hot water.
