Hello, I apperciate any suggestions you may have for my problem. I upgraded from a 5 gal to a 10 gal. When I upgraded I bought a fairly cheap light off of Amazon it was : NICREW Full Spectrum Planted LED Aquarium Light, with Timer, for Freshwater Fish Tank, 18-24 Inch, 14 Watts. I do not know...

What kind of botanicals do you suggest adding?? My PH is coming 8.2 out of the faucet. I have lost all sorts of fish recently so I am taking down the whole tank and starting over...

For those following this thread. I put a heater of 120w in the tank set to 79 to see if it maintains rather than the 2 50w and 75w. Thank you!!

One more question you think 76 instead of 78??

This is great advice. I did the rug over night. When I left the tank was at 78. on the money when I arrived this morning it was between 70 and 72. I think I will go get some polystyrene. I will call my local pet shop and see if they sell if not I am sure Home Depot have some. Since this tank...

it gets really cold ( for me in the Pacific Northweat) i would say 60-62

None of those things are happening with the tank. Although I appreciate your reply. The heaters are plugged in direct to the socket. Even when I leave at night and turn off the office lights I can see the lights on the heaters still working. I do have a timer on the strip but the only thing...

I have always kept my heaters Horizontal. I have a 73 gallon at home and have never had a problem with temp in 15 years of tending to that tank. I am now considering doing 1 vertical by the intake area and 1 horizontal on the other end. LOL It does have a pretty small pump that came with the...

Would you just get a custom cut piece of plastic for the top. I do not think the lid that came with the tank is near that thick.

I am now leaving the lid on it.

#1: The heaters are a 50w & 75w. #2: Temp set 76 & 78 degrees #3: when I leave at night the temp is usually is about 78 in the tank/ When I arrive in the morning it may 68 or 72 #4: tank size is 20.5"L x 11.6"H x 7.5"W 5Gallon #5: Yes there is a tank cover with a hole in the center for...

It is a 5 gallon. I followed your suggestions of moving one heater closer to the filter side. and the other on opposite end. one is a 50w and the other is a 75w. Thank you.

I have 2 heaters in the tank. I did put them vertical instead of horizontal. my aqueon heater is a 50 watt. My penn-plax is a 75w, I moved them to opposite ends of the tank. I have the Penn-Plax one set at 76 degrees and the Aqueon is set at 79. I do a 20% water change every week my...

Yes, i Am positive the electricity continues to work over night. It is a concrete building, concrete floors, metal exterior. So it does get cold in the office. Even when I set the thermostat to 63 when I leave for the night. I am going to try your suggestions of vertical by the heater. I loved...

I have a 10 gallon tank with a sand substrate. 2 heaters; one eheim and one aqueon. This tank is in my office where it stays warm during the day. At night when I leave the heat of the office is turned down. And the water drops in temp. the 2 heaters can’t keep the water temperature regulated...
