    Default What heaters will reach high temps 95 degrees or higher

    What heaters are being used when treating sick fish with higher temp water? 95 to 96 degrees??
    I currently have a Fluval and max temp is 93 degrees. And it only reaches 92.

    That depends on the size of your tank and wattage.93 degrees seems rather high for treatments.Some parasites can be effectively treated around 86 degrees.

    Well I have been treating two fish for some time now. I had the temp at 86 degrees. Nothing has really helped as of yet. I was told by the person I purchased the fish from to use heat. From what I can tell this high temperatures can help greatly and in some cases even kill parasites at 95 to 96 degrees.

    I am currently just doing 90% daily WC and raised water temp to 93 degrees. Out of everything this seams to been the most effective treatment so far.
    The fish are not eating, however they are swimming around and seam to be much happier.

    Ps this is just for a 10 gallon hospital tank. I have several water heaters, however none hat go above 93 degrees.
    Thank you.

    I use titanium heaters in my hospital tank to bring the temperature as high as 99F. My brand is Won Brothers, but I'm sure most of the other brands would also work. Just make sure you have good aeration, since warm water dissolve less gas.

    I purchased the 300 watt hydro heater. I am very happy with it so far. I believe it even keeps the temperature more even through out the tank.

    Thank you for your input.
