So I have a 75g Ciclid tank and left my lights on (1 long flouresent bulb). I have two heaters, one on either side. Am I going to come back to dead boiled fish? or will my tank be okay? Please any input would help!
 
Fluorescent Bulbs don't really put out heat so you should be fine.
 
how long are you on vacation? When I was out of town for a few days my mom left my lights on once nothin happend soo yea unless theres something I dont know, long as your not on vacation for weeks on end you should be fine :) hope your having fun wherever you are!!
 
I'm only going to be gone for 2 days. Accidently left them on (I think, almost certain). I kind of figured everything would be okay but just wanted to double check.
 
your fish should be fine. fish might have a headache, with the sun sticking around far longer than it should.
 
Two days should be no problem,as for the two heaters they should be fine as long as they are the thermostatic type.
