Adrienne Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I would have expected it to up to temperature fully by the morning. Is your tank covered or is it in a drafty cold place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Most heaters don't actually heat to the temp that you set them to on the side.. If the tank has stabilised at 24 and is not going up any more then turn it up another 2 degrees on the temp indicator and it should go upto 26 Some fancy heaters you can calibrate them so they do heat to the indicated temp, what brand heater did you buy?
