Averted a disaster

[mseepman]

So for some reason I had trouble sleeping last night. After waking up repeatedly feeling that something was "amiss" with my tanks...I got up to check. Wouldn't you know it, my heater was stuck on in my 70G and my temperature was up to 86.9 degrees.

I have no idea why I felt something was up but I quickly pulled the heater (a stealth bought only short while ago) and did a partial water change (5%) to bring the temp down a little.

Went back to bed with the temp at 83.4 degrees and hoped for the best. Got up this morning and everything looks okay and happy and the tank is 78.8 degrees again.

Now I just need to get another heater in there to ensure it doesn't dip low on me which I think is almost more harmful on everything.

Someone upstairs was looking out for me last night!
