Just ran into a faulty heater problem two days ago. Luckily, this was on a quarantine system that has little more than a few mushrooms, although it does have a newly purchased Blue-spotted Toby.
I walk in, stick my finger in the water casually, and notice that it's warm. Really warm. Warmer than anything I've felt in one of my tanks before.
So I get my little digital thermometer in there and lo-and-behold, it's about 93 degrees. All the mushrooms were fine, the Toby was fine, and the Turbo snail was still happily munching on hair algae.
Have you guys experienced anything similar, with no ill-effect to your aquatic denizens? :artist: I just want to see what other people have gone through.
