As usual we will be getting your current weather tomorrow. Right now it's 29, high will be 43. Tonight will be 23!!!  But the song sparrow is singing in the Japanese maple next to my window. It's
a reminder that spring is here.  ;D  Will be doing a big water change in the RN/SI tank for round three of the tasty egg spawn.

We are going to be in a similar weather pattern too. The storms came through yesterday but came through very quickly. It left behind much cooler temps tho. Made a big boo-boo last night when I was changing water in the fry tank. I forgot to reconnect the heater. ???  Thankfully there were no losses and the water was not too cold. ::) First pot of coffee gone. A second opt may be on the agenda. ;D

I've turned most of my heaters horizontal. and lower down for that reason...now I just leave them plugged in....eliminates the 'senior moments'  8)

The funny thing is that I have the heater horizontal in some tanks. :o I have to make the change. ::)

That's what I do as well.  I like mine right down near the bottom of the tank so I can drain down to just an inch or two.  I also think it aids in water movement with the warmer water moving up through the water column.
