Hi everyone,
I made some research and found out I should not have done this, but right now I'm on vacation and I can't do anything since I'm not at home . I live in southeast Europe and it gets madly hot here, the temperatures reach 40-42 degrees Celcius. Throughout the year I mantained a heating temperature of 24 degrees celcius in my tank.
In the beginning of summer I unplugged all the equipment during a waterchange and decided to not plug the heater since it was really hot. Now the thing is that the tank is a room of my house that is the only room without an air conditioner, so there are no temperature swings, right? I'm guessing the fish wont be shocked since the temperature don't drop much at night?
Other than thay, is there a risk of burning/breaking/damaging the heater, if it's submersed in the tank, but not plugged in? Can I damage it in any possible way?
Thanks!
