Hi guys. I already posted this in the bottomfeeder forum, and you can read a brief account of my problem so far in that thread.

I'm wondering whether the addition of these 8" submersible Therma-Flow PC Plus heaters (by Penn Plax) would be a good idea, or whether the cure might be worse than the disease at this point, since one of the hard lessons I'm learning is that fish and aquatic creatures need consistency most of all in their care. Could I raise the temperature gradually enough with one of these heaters to safely make the water a bit more comfortable for my poor snails?

Thanks a lot to anyone who can offer some advice or even mere musings.
