I have a visitherm 175w heater that my son broke and i need the glass for it.Yeah, i know that i can buy another but I'd rather just fix this one,so that i don't just throw away a perfectly good heater.
 
yeah if the glass is broken its no longer a perfectly good heater.
However if its onl cracked you can try silicone to reseal it.

Try? Iv never heard of this and it just sounds like a really really bad idea. You could electrocute and or cook your fish pretty easy using a broken heater.
 
throw it away... but i doubt you'll electrocute your fish. one of my oscars cracked the glass on the heater and the only reason i saw that it broke was because the inside of the heater started turning a brown color.
 
Send it in for a warranty claim and tell them it broke just sitting in your tank.

No. That's fraud. Do you shoplift too?









Okay, here's another response:
Don't lie. Just buy a new one.

what? he wanted an idea. Theres no reason to use a broken one but if you want to use one it would be worth a shot. also silicone isnt conductive and more than likely youd just short out the heater and kill it anyway.
