So, I got a second batch of these from GVSailor. Was super stoked. Guess what? My heater broke AGAIN (this time stuck on) and killed all my juvies (including White Labs, Chewere, and J. Marlieri). How can it be that twice a heater kills my fish? And two days after I get them? I swear I'm cursed with these guys.   :'(

That water had to be all of 98 degrees. I could literally feel it as I reached for the light switch. My wife said they were all fine last night around 10 pm when she fed them. I get home at 8am and WHAM!!!

The worst part is I was reading some forums and people were talking about heater malfunctions. I remember thinking to myself I should get some Fluval M Series to replace my fleet since they're fairly aged. Aaargghhh!!!   >:(

I won't give up. I shall try again (when I get some money saved up). Maybe I can find some young adults.

I've switched to the aqueon pro heaters ( around 6 months ago) and have no complaints thus far. The temp in my tanks are spot on and everything I've read about them is nothing but good

The juvies are in a 20L. The adults are quarantined in a 40B and will be going into a 55G with my Kawanga Gold Zebras.
