Hiya all,
5 years ago I came home from the gym to find my aquarium misted up and condensation running down the front glass panel, I saw 7 of my Malawi Ciclid's on their backs being blown around by the flow of the outlet pipes, they were pure white at this stage. The other two were gasping on the surface of the tank! Immediately i turned off the power, ran to the freezer and emptied all the ice i had into the top of the aquarium, immediately followed by a 70% water change to bring the temperature down! By this stage I'm sure you've guessed it was a faulty heater that had caused this. The heater was just over a year old. I was furious and sick to my stomach that this happened to my fish whilst in my care
So my question is, how often do you change your heater or other equipment for that matter?
thanks,
