Heat or substrate or what??

Posted on April 3, 2013 at 4:19am 0 Comments 0 Likes

I woke up the other morning to find my heater on around 32c 90f (forgot to turn it down after working on the tank) I added new substrate (tropica) the day before and some bits were floating around in the water. my moss looked like it was dying, going brown so I trimmed the dying parts off turned my temp back down to 26c 78f. will it survive and how long before it starts growing?? Thanks
