X_X my heater won't let me turn it up anymore it's like it's stuck or something, the temp is at 79 ;_;.

 

[GIS Guy]

Bummer.
My former heater only went heated to 85, but I also did salt.
Cleared up the ICH no problem.
You might want to look into a replacement for these types of situations.

 

[Katome556]

._. i wish i had enough money to buy another heater , right now i have only a few dollars and i would'nt want to rack my bill up at the petstore any larger then it already is.>.<

Aquarium Salt

 

[Katome556]

[GIS Guy]

Table salt will be fine.
Do a thread search.

 

[Katome556]

[GIS Guy]

Hope someone else knows.

 

[Katome556]

[Katome556]
