Before adding the Hydrokable, my 55 gal plant tank would have cold spots in winter that I fear caused bouts with ich. I also applied 1/2 inch Styrofoam sheets on each side of the bottom of the tank. Now an even temp is maintained that the fish and plants seem to thrive on. I have not lost a Serape Tetra or Angel Fish in over 2 years.
I recommend this all the way but when you are getting the thermostat, get the non-LCD one because mine broke after a year and started to boil the water. Get the regular one, its cheaper and haven't had problems with it since and had it for over three years!
A sharp drop in water temperature is extremely stressful to fish and can compromise their immune system. Improperly sized heaters may not be able to maintain their set temperature and cause aquarium temperature to fluctuate several degrees per day.
Temperature can be the single most important component in the life of your fish. Fish, in the wild and in our aquariums, are very sensitive to changes in temperature. Learn the affects of water temperature on fish health.
