I did a water change friday and came back home and hour ago. My water was at 60 degrees, I forgot to replug my heater. I am so a dummy

My rhom look OK, he just move slowly.
I put 2 heater in the tank.

Temp at 65 now

How fast can I raise the temp so it wont shock my Rhom ?

haha how temp in your house even 60?

 

[shoe997bed263]

why did u unplug your heater in the first place??? i would raise the temp slowly to not shock your p any more than he already is.

Just change it to its normal settings. Im sure your heater wont change the temperature in 5 min.

It's not in the house, it's in the garage. so temps always around 17-18 C. but I have good heater's. My temp always at 80.

The temp when up to 8 degres Celcius last week, so we lower the garage heater
and today temp when down to -15

Now the temp is at 68 F

I unplug the heater when I do a big water change(33%), so my heater is not half in the water and half out and continius heating. For next time should I just let it run ? It wont dommage the heater ?

if its a glass heater id unplug it as it can crack if not fully submerged. (ive had em do it to me)

i have never had the problem of them cracking, and leave mine plugged in while i do a water change.

just a few days ago i broke a 45 dollar heater do to leaving it pluged in when i did a water change. so ya its a good idea to unplug it

i lost a glass heater when i tried heating water that was at room temp *60ish maybe, teh room windows were open durring teh winter * and tried to warm it too fast.....was a brand new heater got it earlier that day....managed to get my money back though....suckers

 

[piranhatom]

I agree.

With 2 heater's , my temps was going up 2 degres per hours, so I unplug my second heater before going to sleep so my temp will raise slowly.

Water at 74 F this morning and my rhom look OK

I will put my heater at 77 and back at 80 tomorow

Do you think I should add somethomg in the tank to help ?
to take out stress or somothing like that ?

 

[Blackdude]

What are the after effect that can append to my rhom ?
Or what should I check to see if my rhom is realy OK ?
Can some parameter of my water can have change because of that drastic change ?
