Yikes!! Glad to hear everything is OK! I surprises me that they even still sell them considering the proliferation of titanium and polycarbonate heaters these days.

Man. I here these story's and am glad it hasn't happened to me yet. I really need to upgrade my heaters

Kien do you know who stocks the poly heaters. I googled them and only came up with uk sites

As mentioned this was an old one I had kicking around from years gone by and used it in a pinch and then just left it going not really thinking about it. (:redface: - amatuer hour)
That said it outlasted my titanium heater.:lol:

I have not yet seen them in aquaria but I've seen them in other applications. I'm just surprised that they haven't made their way to aquaria yet.

newbies...

Ya, I have heard problems with the titantium heaters too. Mine seems to be trucking along though. Bottom line is, don't stick anything electrical in your tank. Or better yet, just don't run a tank. It's hazardous to your health.

I think you might be on to something!! Let's all quit.:razz:

great looking corals!! I want! hhaha

Nice sticks specially that tricolour milli I want I want:drinking::drinking::drinking::drinking::

Thanks folks :biggrin:

broken heater
 

This is the old glass heater that broke last week - and threw actual flames into the sump water. It was kind of freaky - in an uncool sort of way.
