This article might have saved my life. This week, I noticed one of my heaters frosted up inside so before I put my hands in the tank to do a water change I asked my neighbor who is an electrician to see if there was a hazard. He checked and found significant voltage was escaping into my aquarium. I noticed my fish were faded in color and acting weird also. Thank you. Great article and I will subscribe to your magazine now that I know what good stuff you print.

Really helpful. I never knew the specifics like how they work. I found the ideas about careful locating and insulating the tanks very interesting. Another thing, I really never thought about matching my fish to the temperature of my room what a great idea. More articles like this please!
