Hystrix are Here!

Finally got my order or 3 Hystrix rays. Heres the story..

I was supposed to get the package on a Wednesday, however they were delayed due to thunderstorms and tornadoes in Kentucky and/or Tennessee. I got the packages the following day on Thursday at 9am. I work crazy hours starting at 1:30 am. My job said I could not leave to get the packages that were arriving at 9am, I said I will quit and left. (still have my job, so far) My FedEx package had 2 females and they were extremely cold, but Survived!! However my UPS shipment was not as lucky. The male which was stunning was DOA...I was and am still heart broken. I got a refund, but now I cant find a male...Any help on acquiring one would be greatly appreciated. (Fishdog) (Aquascape)

Is that an uncovered heater in the sixth picture?

sure is... I usually keep my heaters horizontal at the very top of the tank near the water line, however my water temp was lower than I anticipated it would be, s0 i had 4 heaters in the tank to raise the temp back to atleast 86+
