Heaters

too true, and just get a heater large enough for the tank... even if it is on all the
time it cannot overheat. in this case, bigger isnt better. Ingrid

Just a warning to all....I had an heater in my tropical tank a few years
ago....it gets cold up here in NH and it was maintaining the temp for my
mollies and catfish while I was at work and the temps in the house would go
down to high 50s......until while at work it malfunctioned and I came home
to green water, a disgusting smell and 12 dead fish....the temp went up to
175F.....the poor things......moral of the story....buy a good
heater....check it frequently.....and keep the environmental temp in the
room close to where you want the tank to be so the heater is just for
emergency cold snaps......I learned the hard way.....
