Yesterday, I was adding "inside tank" thermometers to my tanks that didn't have them since we've had so many posts recently about the outside stickon thermometers not being accurate.
My 20 gallon tropical community tank that houses 6 flame tetras and 6 threadfin rainbows was scorching hot! The temp on the heater said 79, but the mercury on the new thermometer started skyrocketing up to 88 when I put it in the tank.
I immediately unplugged the heater and removed it from the tank. I'll be calling Marineland today. I'm not very happy atm. The current tank temp is now 76.
