Heater blows up!!!

[Plecos_Ftw]

that must have been a sight to see.. a big fish trying to eat a biiiiggg heater.. yea well the fish had problems, the heater was talkin crap so he had to munch it. haa. Yea its like 3am almost and I can hear mine playin with my heater right now. they sometimes get crazy with it. Ive been dumb and taken a heater out and put it in another tank and had it crack cuz I was dumb and didnt think about the temp difference. yikes thats my dumb one for heaters

I had a simular problem with a heater that hadn't been used in 3 or 4 years. I plug it in, and it appears fine for a week or 2. I glance over at my aquarium and see that the temperature is 95 degrees, and my heater had exploded! Luckily, there was no fish in there at the time.

Are the stealth heaters shatter proof?
