Well, following a heater disaster earlier today, boiled a few fish...I bought a new heater and put it in, but it just doesn't feel right. It feels a bit cold, I have tried turning it up, but then it feels a bit hot. It's set to 25, but when I turn it, I hear it click on at 28 - but that tank's never 25, I'm sure, it feels lots colder than it use to feel.
It's 2am now and I darent go to bed in case my one remaining fish freezes or boils in the night. Assuming I can't get this exactly right, will my Striped Rafael be better a little cold or a little warm? he's a big boy, about five inches long, if it makes a difference. I know neither is ideal but I have to go to sleep sometime. I don't know....I am just fretting that it's going to end badly. I'm going to go with colder if no one has any ideas.
Any advice at all?
