At least you noticed it wasnt working dekks. They should be ok because it doesnt get that cold of a night yet so hopefully all will be ok. You could always put a duvet on the tank to keep them cosy

Are you definitely sure it was broken? I thought the one in my 165L had stopped working when the temperature had dropped to 24C but a couple of hours later, I noticed it coming on again...

have a search of the site to find heatr saving tricks if you need too.
That volumne of water will hold its own heat for a good while and as said - its quite mild atm
no way round having to dent the wallet tho - but ho hum - part of fish keeping I suppose. Coild be worse - could be broken tank
