Tank too hot?

[SkollSunChaser]

To be honest I'm kind of nervous about the whole temperature thing. I have no idea how much the heater will help or hinder, and I was really hoping for some opinions on it. Maybe I should start my own thread? I dunno, I was just at a loss of how to approach it, other than getting a tiny heater.

Like Embry said heaters are only necessary if there is a risk your tank is going to freeze over or you notice your axolotls are not behaving normally. If I ever put a heater in my tank I would buy a sensor/controller that can shut off the power directly to the heater. I had a heater malfunction in my feeder fish tank that heated the water to the point they all died and smelled awful. Better safe than sorry
