Hello,
So far I have been able to keep my 2.5g bow tank at 78 degrees. However, in the past two days it has become colder here in Maryland and my son's room is cold also. The temp dropped to 74 degrees last night and I am a bit worried. I have two guppies in the tank. They seem to be just fine. Was wondering if it is sort of safe to wrap a heating pad around the back of the tank to give it some warmth? With it set on low. What do you all think. I do know that at WalMart they sell heater for 1-2 gal tanks but they don't have a thermostat on them which could be dangerous. Any suggestions?
