Help!!! QT temp dropped to 60 degrees over night

[moz71]

Ahhh long story short heater went off inQT in garage. Temp dropped to 60 degree ish. I have Naso hippo and melanurus wrasse in it. They are alive but sluggish. Put 2 300 watt heaters in it to get it up fast. Is there anything else I can do? Should they be ok? Heelp

Should not have got it up fast imo. Should havce got it up slow if I had the chance.

You are saying take it back up slow? Last half hour it is now up to 68 degrees is that too fast?

I bet they will be OK. I would probably just use one of the heaters if it will increase the temperature on its own.

Wayyy to fast...I would take the next 24 hours to get it back in the low 70’s and then fine tune it from there....and that still might be pushing it

I agree slow. 12-24 hours.

I took one heater out and kept the other one at 72 since this is where I got it up to. I will keep it heat and raise a degree or 2 every 2 hours Hope that sounds reasonable. On a related note going to post another thread as the Naso has been having these white blotches. Most say stress or bacterial but now unsure.
