AquariumPet
The ultimate heating solution for large UK aquariums, featuring a dual-display digital controller and corrosion-resistant titanium elements.
Precision Control for Large Volumes
Maintaining a stable temperature in a 500L to 900L aquarium requires more than just raw power; it requires intelligent management. The AquariumPet Pro Digital system separates the heating element from the controller, allowing you to monitor temperatures at a glance from outside your cabinet. The titanium construction ensures rapid heat transfer while remaining completely resistant to the corrosive nature of marine salt or the humic acids of South American blackwater setups.
Safety and Redundancy
For systems over 500L, we recommend a redundancy strategy. Our controller can manage multiple elements, ensuring that if one fails, the other maintains the biological minimum. The integrated thermal fuse and dry-run protection provide an essential safety net, automatically cutting power if the water level drops below the sensor during maintenance or due to evaporation.
Optimised Installation
Designed for the British fishkeeping hobby, our system includes long 2-metre cables to reach from the depths of a 6ft display tank or a deep sump back to your control board. The external temperature probe features a suction-cup mount for high-flow areas, ensuring the controller reacts to the true temperature of the water column rather than 'dead spots' behind decor.

How to Use
- Mount the digital controller in a dry area of your aquarium cabinet using the provided bracket.
- Place the titanium heating element in a high-flow area (e.g., the return chamber of a sump or near a powerhead in the display).
- Position the temperature probe at the opposite end of the tank/sump from the heater to ensure accurate readings.
- Plug into a UK 3-pin socket and set your desired temperature using the 'Set' button.
- Calibrate the unit after 24 hours by comparing the display to a trusted mercury or digital thermometer.
Customer Reviews
Bought the 1000W system for my 800L Discus tank. The temperature hasn't moved more than 0.2 degrees, which is vital for these sensitive fish. The Glasgow winters are harsh, but this handles it easily.
Alistair Murray, Glasgow
The dry-run protection saved me during a water change when I forgot to unplug the heater. Usually, that would be a cracked heater and a ruined day, but the AquariumPet unit just cut out safely.
Siobhan O'Reilly, Manchester
Finally, a heater with a cable long enough for a large cabinet! The build quality of the titanium element is far superior to the glass ones I've used previously in my reef sump.
Arjun Sethi, Birmingham
Excellent bit of kit. My only minor gripe is the suction cups for the probe could be a bit stronger, but the actual heating performance is flawless on my 600L setup.
Gareth Williams, Cardiff
As a marine biologist, I appreciate the accuracy. I've verified the probe against lab-grade equipment and it's remarkably consistent. Perfect for stable reef temperatures.
Dr. Fiona Campbell, Edinburgh
Great controller, very clear display. It's a bit bulky in the cabinet if you have a lot of other gear, but the peace of mind is worth the space.
Mark Thompson, Leeds
The dual-display is a game changer. I can see the target and actual temp from across the room. No more squinting at a tiny dial inside a dark tank.
