	Unplug Heater?
fishnewbie Big Fish Posts: 349 Kudos: 619 Votes: 319 Registered: 01-Apr-2004	Was wondering if i could unplug the heater for my 10g tank listed on profile and leave it unplugged until weather gets colder? Room temp is set at about 73 degrees F but i think the water will stay a little warmer with the lights and all.
