The heater was a cheap one from Walmart. It was the first time I used it. It is going back. I only bought it to heat the water before putting it in the tank. I would not put a cheap one in to my tank just for that reason. All the corals aren't looking that good tonight. If things don't look better by tomorrow night I guess I'll do a mojor water change. How much should I do? I normally do 10g ever 2 weeks. It is a 75g tank.
