Hi all.
Need some advice, I finished putting in my new Fluval filter a couple of hours ago and was sitting here watching the water clear and the black neons playing in the white water rapids that are now down one end of my tank when something made me get up and look at the thermometer. The tank temp has plummeted from 26 to 22!!
The heater used to be inisde the old filter but I have had to take it out and sucker it to the glass and rewire it to my control box but I didnt push the live far enough into the connector
Should I boil some kettles and do a partial water change using warmed water or would I be best just letting the heater slowly increase the water temp again on its own??
