Lower the level of your water and put in warmer water every day or when needed to keep the temp up. Just don't raise the temp by too much at once or it may stress them into sickness.
wish i could. the tank is in the basement and no matter if i turn up the heat the basement is allways cold
Make sure it's covered good to prevent any surface heat loss. You can wrap it with insulation too to hold in the heat. Newspaper works as insulation in a pinch. GL!
any ideas of how to get a cheep or free heater for it. even a small one will work for the moment.
