So I came home and noticed my 40g tank noone in the tank cared to move...
I noticed that the filter was not going so well, and I figured I better clean it.
I feed the fish removed the filter cleaned it and when I put the filter back in the tank I realized quickly what the problem was...
The water was FREEZING COLD.... I was thinking damn now I know why my fish where all sitting on the bottom and didnt want to eat...
I grabbed the heater and as soon as I touched as I simultaneously unplug it I noticed a split second before my hand made it to the cord that as I touched the heater that a bright light was emitted from it like it blew up. 1 second later I had it unplugged and into the trash can. Never again will I buy a cheap heater just because I didnt want to spend the money on the better one.
Drove immediately to Petsmart and got myself a Marineland Visi-Therm Stealth which I have in all of my tanks except for the 40..
I used Petsmart's website printed out their $19.99 200w Stealth heater and went to the store and bought it for $19.99 instead of the $34.95 they had it advertised in the store. They jack up the prices good there.
Okie so now my tank is slowly heating up from the 69.6 degree's I found it at.
I hope my fish will not be pissed at me for long.
