Hi,
I just read an article today that made mention of the use of heat coils in planted aquariums. I've never heard of anything like that before! Are they necessary? I'll be using a 29gal planted tank with 1/2 Flourite, 1/2 gravel with a thin sand layer on top.
If the heat coils are necessary, can I substitute a UTH (under-tank heater) similar to use in a reptile enclosure? It's basically a heating pad that sits under the glass.
Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!!
