	Switching heaters around
greenmonkey51 Fish Master Posts: 1571 Kudos: 1692 Votes: 5 Registered: 28-Jan-2004	I need to setup a hospital tank but I dont have a heater for one. I have a bunch of heaters in all my other tanks but I need to figure out how to switch them around the easiest to free up one. Heres the tanks and heaters. Also I cant just go buy one as thats not a option right now. 125g- 2 300wt heaters 75g- 2 200wt heaters 55g 1 300wt 20g- 1 100wt 20g(hospital)- none

It won't hurt the tank or the fish, it will simply cycle on for less time than a lower wattage heater. Frank -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<--

One reason if you take it from one tank then use it in the hospital tank and decide to return it back again you could also be taking a hospital back into the origional tank.

Then rinse it (the glass part) under running water. Do this same thing when returning it to the 75 later. Frank -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<--
