The Root Therm kit provides gentle warming suitable for planted aquarium set-ups without the need for a temperature controller. Multiple Root Therms can be used for larger systems. The RootTherm will work in conjunction with any regular aquarium heater-thermostat.

Regular thermostat controlled aquarium water heaters, will keep the water above the substrate at a stable temperature however the temperature of the substrate and the plant’s roots will always be slightly below the water temperature. Low power substrate warming, in addition to regular water heating is therefore the logical solution for maintaining a positive temperature differential between the substrate and the water, ensuring that the plants will have the “warm roots” they need.
