Trouble with heater

Hi, all!

I'm new to tropical fish - only had goldfish before.

I bought a heater and it's just a cheapie. I'm having big trouble
getting it
set to the right temp! Very frustrating when you don't have hour after
hour
to check it and adjust accordingly.

Is there any other type of heater where you can just set it to the
degrees
you want & go? This one just has notches...

Poor fish woke up in an 85 degree tank this morning! I felt awful I
turned it down 2 notches and left for work this morning - now they're
probably freezing. You see my problem?? Any solutions out there other
than
patience, probably killing them, and lots of time?

Thanks for any guidance...

Mary





If you can affford it order an ebo-jager heater online. You can get them
for less than $20 online(although they run about 40 at the local fish
store). They have a dial with the temperature marked, and I've found
mine to be accurate within a degree or two of the stated temp. I set it
when I got it, and that was it. As for you finding your tank at 85 this
morning, I wouldn't worry too much. I've been running my tank at 85 for
over a week now to help get rid of ich. BTW what kind of fishes do you
have?

Hi, Josh

That heater sounds great - do you have any links?

I've got 2 orange gouramis, 2 black neons, 3 african drawf frogs and one
bottom-feeder cat that's smaller than a pleco and lighter colored but I
don't know what kind he is exactly I have to look him up sometime soon!

Thanks for the help

Cool - That's a great site! I registered & now I know that it's a Corydora,
but can't quite figure out which one Next time I go to that LFS, I'll
check the tank for a positive ID.
