Oh my God -

Went to feed fishies this evening and the temp of the water was nearly 95 - so I quickly emptied about a third of the tank out and added cold treated water and got the temp down to about 85. I took out the heater and now I'm testing it to see what happened. Even if it works properly again, I won't take a chance by reusing it., just keep it as a spare. Can anyone suggest a heater for a 180 litre juwel tank? I lost one of my neons during this but I hope I caught it in time and won't lose any more. I feel awful puting them through this -

Man, it is such a nightmare when something like that happens,what u got in the tank anyhting really sensitive?

It happened in my community tank, which has 1 pl*co, 1 betta, 2 goby dragons, numerouse sailfin mollies and platties (numbers keep changing coz of fry ) 6 corys (haven't seen them scuttling around - hope they're OK ) and a few odds and bobs. It's a heavily planted tank (hope they survive ) Oh dear dear
