All things considered the only TRUE way to be safe around our tanks is........Rubber boots!!! that's right folks by wearing rubber boots while working in and around our tanks we are completely safe...To test this theory I smashed a heater while it was still in the water!! After I awoke from my sudden nap I was no worse for wear...I can't imagine what would have happened if I wasn't wearing them..

p.s. I find that with the boot sides rolled down old school that it provides an extra line of defense as the current rolls off the rolled edges rather than down into the boot. Can't ever be too safe. How DO those birds sit on the line with no birdie rubber boots?
