Water Temp

[unknowntbeast]

I just did a big tank clean yesterday, about 70% water change and cleaned the gravel. The temp was around 72 F, now it is at 66. I've read not to change the temp too quick or it will kill fish. But it also takes quite a bit to raise the temp. How should I get it back up to 72+? Even the house thermostat is set for 70 F.

When preforming a water change you need to make sure the temp dosn't drop by two degrees either way.

Just let the temp go gradually back up.
The worst thing you can do is add warmer water to fetch the temp back up. As it causes stress and desease.
