Broken Heater: Problem Solving.

[Ceramicbull]

Well, just got home from work at 11pm local time to discover that a heater in one of my 29g tanks is broken. It is 11pm and I can only hope to have enough money tomorrow to buy a new heater. What can I do until that point to keep my fish from getting too cold? The affected tank is brackish tank, I have a heater in my 29g freshwater tank. Would it be safe to switch the heater back and forth to keep a minimum temperature? Or would I do better to just wait until tomorrow and hope for the best?

Depending on what is in the 29 gallon I'd wrap the 29 in a heavy blanket, and put the heater in the brackish tank.
