Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, suction cup the heater to the tank glass, ensuring it is fully submerged before plugging it into a power source. Wait at least 15 minutes after placing it in the water before turning it on to allow the glass to reach ambient temperature. For cleaning, periodically wipe the glass tube with a soft cloth to prevent algae or calcium buildup, which can interfere with heat transfer. Always turn off and unplug the heater and allow it to cool down for 10-15 minutes before removing it from the water during tank maintenance to avoid thermal shock.
