Glass Heater Broke and the surge suppressor failed to kick over. Cooked my 7" Undulatus and my +/- 40" Green Morray. Came close to really hurting myself finding out.

Same thing happened to me a few years ago in my 55 gal tank... My 10" oscar used to go nuts when the kids ran through the room... one day he hit the heater and there were sparks everywhere... killed him instantly and my 6" jack dempsey, an 8" sailfin pleco, and a big 8" clown loach (that all the fish in the tank surprisingly got along with, even the oscar). The surge even blew out the motor on my cannister filter.

After that loss, I gave my tank to my sister for her preschool classroom and stuck with my 39 gal boring community tank.

But now that I've found this site, the mfk in me is starting to come out again. Now all I need is a bigger tank!! or 2... or 3... or 4........
