Help-heater dead

[muggle0981]

Tank is 180g


Tank running 73 degrees

Heater is dead


Looking to run to petco with limited optins


Will this bridge my gsp

Buy two. They' ll run constantly for your tank. At least you'll have 60g worth of backup if one goes out.

I think you’d need 3 of em but yeah that should work

Juat looking dor something short term till i can go to my lfs tomorrow and get one

It’s certainly better than nothing

Yup anything is better than nothing. I ran two ten gallons and a 30 gallon heater on my 50 gallon w/ sump and they just stayed on for like a week until I could get something powerful enough.
Just keep an eye on livestock.
If needed you can also get an extra and heat water changes up to a degree or two above tank temp to give it a heat nudge.

Happens to my cheapo UV. I'll swap it for a new one... and it'll just start working after...

A 200 should work. You can also just raise the Temp of your House

anything is better than nothing! Get em going as soon as you can. It’ll take longer to heat than it will to loose heat.
