I just discovered that the smoldering smell in my house is my cobalt heater. I found it before the heater released any matter into the tank. But now I have a heating dillema. Here are my options. Please tell me if you have any experience or thoughts on this.
1) Replace the the broken heater with my backup, which is the same kind, but releases stray voltage. (I don'tlike this idea)
2) Quickly acclimate my two fish in quarantine (only two days in) and move that heater to the tank. It's really too small, but may be better than nothing.
3) Cover the aquarium intowels and keep the sump light on to conserve existing heat through the night. Go to pet store in the morning for a new heater.
It's a 75 gallon tank with a sump under the stand (about 20-25 gallons of water). Room temp is approx 67 degrees F.
Only one fish at the moment, but he's important to me. A few piecesof soft coral andsome inverts.
