Janet0308 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Do I need a heater for a 5 gallon plants only tank. I have corkscrew Val and onion plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeQ Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I wouldn't, growing plants in lower temperatures (73~75 degrees) is easier imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flumpweesel Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Room temp should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmiller2001 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Interesting things can happen around 68 degrees. I saw a guy growing some of the most difficult plants using cooler water. Looked like a co2 tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I ditched all of my heaters because I don’t run hot fish. The plants are happy with any room temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lefty o Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 add me to the no heater group. anything between 60 and 80 will be fine for most plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
