Heaters
In the spring time when we had allot of lighting storms and the power goes out, that burst of energy from the lighting and freeze your points shut on your heater. I suggest you turn the heater off or unplug it during the warm months and especially during lighting storms. If the points get welded together , the heater will run indefinitely and boil your fish.Small aquariums or bowls will change temp in a few hours to the room temp, if your comfortable ,so are your fish. A large aquariums can take days to change temps and again if your comfortable so are your fish. Most heated homes don’t even need heaters on the aquariums. Ok now I’m ready to get blasted by some of you LOL. I live in a warm climate,and don’t even use heaters, even in the winter time. And on reef tanks have to use chillers year around.
