- The external heater integrated in the hose of the aquarium filter therefore makes heating IN the aquarium superfluous.
- Easy installation: cut the flexible hose of the external filter that brings the water back into the aquarium, insert the external heater between the two ends, plug in the plug and set the desired water temperature.
- The integration in the filter circuit makes it possible to obtain a very regular distribution of the water temperature in the aquarium, with an accuracy of +/- 0.5°C.
- LED display of current and desired temperature. Interchangeable fittings for 12/16, 16/22 and 19/25 mm hoses. Total length: 12 inches.
- Included in delivery: 1 x 500 W external heater for aquariums of 160-600 l (100-150 cm) with hose connections for 12/16, 16/22 and 19/25 mm and cleaning brush.
Most aquarium fish are native to tropical waters and require water between 22 and 30°C. In community aquariums populated with fish/invertebrates from different regions, a temperature of 24-26°C has been found to be ideal. A temperature of 30°C is only useful for breeding, for example discus. Many species of shrimp are native to cooler waters and cannot tolerate temperatures between 25 and 30°C.
The water temperature must therefore be programmed using an “immersion heater” which automatically regulates the temperature. For this, there are immersion heaters with different wattages in the form of tubes, which are fixed in the aquarium (JBL ProTemp S) and external heaters with two wattages, which are integrated into the water return pipe of the an external filter (JBL ProTemp e). The advantage of external heating is to reduce the number of products to be installed IN the aquarium and to distribute the heat more evenly. On the other hand, the digital display of the outdoor heater always clearly displays the current water temperature.
Underfloor heating is NOT meant to regulate water temperature. A cord heater provides better heat circulation to the bottom of the aquarium as the water heated at the cord rises and circulates in the areas between the cord heaters. The water thus brings nutrients to the roots of the plants and ensures their perfect growth. Line heaters must always be supplemented with a "main heater" (JBL ProTemp s or e).
