I have a 23.5g tank with a heater that's overly powerful for my tank (I keep it set on 71F, and it heats to 82F)I noticed today that it was sitting at 86F! (As I was acclimating my first fish, good timing -_-) In general my bedroom is consistently warmer than the rest of my house (Even with no direct sunlight, blinds, and a blanket over the window), could this have something to do with it? During the day I am not usually home to monitor it, as I workShould I be worried about a 4 degree fluctuation with zebra loaches? (They have a wide temp range: 72-86F) I don't want to come home one day and see my thermometer at someo ridiculous temperature, while my fish are suffering :/Is my Hydor Theo heater too powerful? (Believe its the 150 or 200w modelI threw away the box, whoops :lt;)Help lt;3
i prefer them in the micro plus it only takes 10mins ull be waiting an hour or so for it lol :)
2 ways to do it1 micowave.prick it put it in on high for bout 8 to 10 mins look at it half way through and turn it over if you wish when dont add filling and eat2 ovenput oven on 100 to 150 prick it put salt on it then wrap in tin foil put it in for few hours i dont no how but saut makes it taste really nice when done open add filling and eat.
Baked potato's are one of the easiest things to make, and it's a good place to start in learning how to cookPreheat your oven to 400, wash the potatoes really well with a brush if you have one, (nothing yuckier than gritty potato's!) Poke a few times with a fork, place directly on oven rack to bake- unwrapped for crispy skin, wrapped in foil for soft skinBake about an hour for regular sized potato, an hour and a half for largeTime may vary a littleYou'll know they're done when a knife will go into them easily.
I'd be concerned if the heater wasn't keeping a steady temperatureIt's not so much the variation, in the wild you get that sort of variation between day and nightIt may be that the thermostat is starting to stickIf it sticks ON, and keeps heating, it could cook your fish Happened to me, and I lost my Bristlenole plecos and most of my White Clouds :( Ian
