So yesterday about 4:30 in the afternoon I walk by my tank and look at the tempature reading on my tank (as I do everytime I walk by it). I stop short...72.2! AND, the heater isn't even on. So I turn it up and watch the temp climb back up to 78 degrees. But it kept going. The next hour it was up to 80.6...so I turned it down, and went to bed.
I woke up about 2:30 a.m. and decided to go check it....82.6! Now I'm freaking out. So I turn it down again and go back to sleep. When I wake up 3 hours later it's still around 81.5. So, I'm going out to buy a new heater when I get out of work. Oh, and I should mention this heater has been working fine with no adjustments for over a year.
My question...are my fish going to survive this without too much stress?
