HEATER BROKE!!!!!! HELP!!!!!

[Reloadeddevil]

Heater on my Nuvo 10g broke and temperature is going down, due to pet stores closing on Sunday around 6 pm, what are my options. Any ideas how to bring up the temp? Any input is appreciated.

Turn up the temperature in your house?
Maybe use a space heater?

 

[Nano man]

Do you have a hot water bag? Boil some hoT water and put the bag in your tank to help increase the temp.

I turned up the house temp and right now its steady at 74. Is it enough for the corals to survive the night?

That should be more than enough.

Yeah 74 will be fine. I had my tank drop down to 72 before when i didnt realize my heater went out.

Float heated 20oz bottles of water.

Walmart may have something in the pet section. Though I'd worry then about the quality of the heater...

 

[Nano man]

How did everything go? Forgot to ask you the expected low for night.....

Everything welt great. Temp did hold at 74. On my way to pet store for heater.
