I feel so bad...

[afireinside]

Ok, aperently my heater is busted. Cause, I went to Marco's tank. I don't have a thermometer, forgot to purcachase one. So I dip my finger in the water. I'm like, omg, the water is like 100 degrees F! The heater only said 76. I lowered it down to 69, the water feels normal now, but I'm going to by a new heater. Poor Marco, I was wondering why he looked drowsy. I feel so bad .

Please buy a thermometer they are as cheap as a buck or two. Save the fish the stress of flucuating temp

Is he ok?

 

[afireinside]

He's ok now. Acting like his normal self again.

Glad to hear Marco is okay!

What sort of heater do you (or did you ) have?

 

[jollysue]

glad he's a survivor!

Oddly, it was a Neptune heater.

 

[jollysue]

I'm not familiar with Neptune. I actually like the Marineland dual temp. set heater for the price.

It's really great that you caught it fast. I'm assuming you did since Marco is unharmed.

I broke my thermometer a while back. I finally got replacements now in all the tanks (except the coldwater.) But I went awhile without, just trusting my heaters, the stupid strip therms, and with the broken one to check.

not to hijack the thread, I'm just wondering if 75F is too cold?

I had that same problem with my heated before different brand though
