Heater Capable?

[Jones2w]

I know to cure ick i must get my temperature up...

I have a 55 Gal tank with a Marineland Dual Temp 300 watt heater...can this heater get my temp up to 87 or 88 or do i need more pwer?

Are you seeing signs of ick now or is this one of those "just in case" things?

 

[Jones2w]

no I'm defintly seeing signs...should I just use the meds I purchasd ?

turn the heater up now. If it appears to max out at less than 86, then you know its not sufficient. Hold off on the meds IMO>
