 |  Heater problems
Ok, this isn't a REAL emergency but I am having a serious problem with my heater. I came home today and it was 70 and last night 82! I need advise on a good, dependable heater that I can get tonight from somewhere. I know this big of a swing in temp. cannot be good for my fishes. |

What size tank? - What size existing heater?
Sounds like the one you have is inadequate for tank size and ambient room temp. ---
May want to consider adding another. _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)

| Ahh, I should have included
that info-sorry! It's only a 12 gallon Nano and the heater is a Marineland and for the life of me I can't find the wattage in the instructions! Half the pages are in different languages. I'm still looking... | |

Invest in a good small titanium as quick as you can.
Good Luck. | |

If you cant find that then look for an Ebo-Jager. They've been good to me. I think its the only glass heater I trust.
