I am using a secondhand heater that comes with no instructions. Its a tronic 150w heater.
This is what ive done so far. Placed in tank and left for half an hour.
Turned on heater untill light just comes on. it says around 74 on the dial. Left it for half hour it turned off. water feel still cold to touch so ive turned it up again untill light comes on at 79 water still feels colder than my other tank which has no heater and is at house temp.
I'm going to get a thermometer now as i thought you just had to set dial and away it would go and heat water to that temp. but not so looking at the net.
Am i doing this right and once i get the preffered water temp what setting do i set it on the dial leave it alone or adjust the dial it to corraspnd to the temp. there is no fish in this tank only a filter
Thanks
