2. Mount using suction cups, ensure the rod is fully submerged and away from direct contact with substrate or décor.

3. Fill the tank, then plug in the heater. Adjust the thermostat knob to your target temperature (e.g., 26 °C for many tropical setups).

4. Use an accurate aquarium thermometer to verify the actual water temperature—and adjust the heater if needed.

5. During water changes: unplug the heater first, allow it to cool, then re-install after refilling the tank to avoid thermal shock.
