    I noticed some people having heater problem. I had a problem just now, thankly today is my day off, so i was home. My 10g tempoary tank was hanging at 94 degree. Everything is fine, turned off the heater.

    Anything I should do?

    i put some ice in a zip lock bag and floated it.. you prob. dont want to drop it to quick, to keep them from going into shock.

    Get a fan and have it blow across the water to help cool the tank down. Open your place up and drop the room temperature also if it is not that warm where you live.

    only thing i can see to have a quick fix is put it next to a air vent and put the air on making the heater work a little bit and or buy a fan.
