Derbird Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Hello all, I had a scary moment last night. Some of my SPS and LPS corals didn't look all that happy. I did some tests and my parameters we normal so I figured a water change would be best. I put my hand in the tank and the water was cold.... 71 degrees cold I checked my 75 watt heater and the light was on but it is barely warm. After work I'm going to get 2 50 watt heaters to replace it. My question is how much time should I take to raise the temperature? I know I shouldn't just raise it to 79 😃 Thank you for your time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntoTheMystic Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 (edited) Two degrees per 24 hours is usually a safe rate. I use that rate for fish and have never had a problem. Edited June 24, 2019 by IntoTheMystic 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
