Water Temperature Guage Not Working

Water Temperature guage not working

Disconnect the wire from the temperature gauge sending unit and ground it. That is, connect it to something metal that's not painted. Turn the ignition on. The temperature gauge should swing to hot. If it does, the sending unit is bad. When you replace it, do not put any sealant on the threads! If the gauge does not swing to hot either the gauge itself is bad or the wiring going to it is bad. One other remote possibility is the thermostat is stuck open and not allowing the engine to warm up. This is a suspect if you have no heat as well as the gauge not moving. Hope that helps! Jim

Why does my plecco hide?

Well its a instinct as it comes naturally. You have to hide in the wild or you get eaten. Decrease the water temperature a bit but if you dont he should be fine. They are mainy nocturnal and move when the otherfishes arent.

does 23 degree water temperature feel cold?

in Celsius? i guess it depends on how you deal with temperature, but i would say it would not be too cold at all

How to keep water temperature down?

30C should not be a problem for at least a little while, but the literature I checked does not list anything above 30C. Unless you have a chiller, you can never get the temperature below room temperature. If you have no air conditioning, are expecting a major heat wave, and the tank is small enough, here are some additional options 1) Move the tank to the floor (it's cooler there) 2) Put the tank inside a tub and fill the tub with cold water until it's about 1" (2-3cm) from the tank top. The increase in thermal mass means the water will take longer to heat up. 3) Put treated water in the refrigerator, that way you can siphon off some warm water and put in some cooler water to bring the temp down. (If you have 5 liters of 100F water, and replace 1 liter with water at 50F, the new temp will be 90F) BUT do this slowly, you do not want to stress the fish. 4)When the tank is at it's coolest, with power off, put blankets over it to act as insulation during the day. Note: Ice cubes made from untreated water are not safe. Note: a fan blowing across the tank water surface will aid in bringing the tank temperature closer to room temperature. If you've unplugged your heater and light, and the tank is at 30C, then the room is at 30C, so a fan will not help. If your room temperature is above the water temperature of the tank, putting a fan on it will raise the water temperature. (Not to mention the electrical use will be a small heat source.

I think theres something wrong with my betta?Please help!?!?!?

So many possibilities of what could be wrong: Did you test the water? PH, Hardness, Chlorine? Was the water temperature significantly different than what he was previously in? Did the plant come from the pet store & is it supposed to be aquatic? It is best to only change a small percentage of the water at a time.

Controlling water temperature for betta fish?

People use heating pads to melt chocolate even so noooo do not do that! It's not reliable or safe! If you can not get a larger tank ATM then set him under a lamp with a low wattage light like on a coffee table, etc

What is the preferable temperature to go swimming in?

I say that about 82 Farenheit is the most comfortable water temperature while about 75 degrees Farenheit is the best for air temperature in terms of swimming for practice. As for competition though, I would say that the water temperature should be right around 76-77F. You do not want it too cold but you also do not want it too warm either. I think that air temp. of 75 holds about the same, you also do not want to have that too hot or too cold so that swimmers' muscles stay warm while out of the pool and also that they do not necessarily sweat when coming out of the pool.
