I've always been someone who runs a heater on an aquarium but am spotting a few people here and there that don't, I'm in the UK, as I believe these people I refer to are, I also believe some people only run heaters during the cooler months which I know is different although is another path I could explore. Going for a smaller aquarium gives you much less room for plants, hardware and livestock so one item less in the tank is possibly a good thing.
I have a room that doesn't get 'cold' although I couldn't be sure of the actual temperatures so is something I will monitor, along with what temperature a tank of water gets through the colder months as that doesn't cool or heat at the same rate as the room temperature.
For the educated people; what temperatures would you say are parameters to look for? I understand part of this temperature depends on livestock so it maybe the case I have to add livestock tailored to suit, assuming I go down this route.
As always, any experience and information is most welcome
Thanks
