My heater guard DIY idea, This is to stop "heater burn" not to protect from big angry oscars
1, Grab yourself some flexable piping, Costs pennys! Normally used for ponds etc i believe.. I brought to use as a hiding spot for Spiny eels

2, Check this pipe fit over your heater.. The better fit the better the finished product will look

3, Take a pair of scissors and cut your way along the ridge of the flexable piping
