Also what are the other water parameters at? Do you ever put small amounts of salt in your water? IF NOT, add 1 tablespoon for every 5 gallons of the large chunky aquarium salt, so 18 tablespoons, or 1 cup (dry measure) and two tablespoons in the tank. For the two heaters, 500W will heat a 90 gallon tank to about 9-10*F above the ambient temperature, which is fine IF the room the tank is in stays at 72*F(I am actually more surprised to hear that a 300W can keep a 180 at 88*F! Is your tank insulated?! I'd love to find out, my electric bill is killing me). They will not work as well if the temperature is closer to say, 65*F.
You don't really need salt, salt mainly helps heal wounds. I dont use any salt in all my tank.
Would u believe I have 1 300w and 1 200w heating my 300g holding a steady temp of 87? Lol.

Hmm, maybe I need to start my own thread on heating. :/a What's your ambient temperature in the room for your tanks?
Appx 74*
But I have a 60gal Im my garage and its like 40* in there, I have one 300w and one 150w and it can barely get the tank past 84*

i couldn't see 79 killing a pbass.. my guess would be acclimation procedure or the shock of it..
x2
I've raised many small pbass at lower temperatures. They did just fine. I'm guessing something was wrong with the water parameters
