When Aquarium Heaters Fail: How I Lost Rare Fish and an Oscar

Описание: When Aquarium Heaters Fail: How I Lost Rare Fish and an Oscar

This video is one I never wanted to make.

What started as what I thought was a light malfunction turned into a full-blown fishroom disaster. After removing equipment and later testing it in another tank, I realized the real cause wasn’t the light at all — it was a heater failure.

That realization came too late.

In this video, I break down:
• How a failing aquarium heater produced smoke/fumes
• How those fumes likely entered the water column
• Why my rare Matano ricefish population was decimated
• How a separate heater failure killed my Oscar cichlid
• Why heater failures are one of the most dangerous risks in the aquarium hobby
• The importance of external temperature controllers
• Why heating your room can be safer than relying on tank heaters alone
• And why, after my experience and email exchange, I will no longer be working with Hygger

This isn’t a hit piece.
This isn’t speculation.
This is a real-world failure with real consequences — and a warning to other hobbyists.

If this video prevents even one person from losing fish the way I did, then it’s worth sharing.

Learn from my mistakes.
Protect your fish.
And don’t assume your equipment will always fail safely.
