Heater Guard

[KansasFishGuy]

I recently picked up a stingray and now worried about the heater burning the ray. I was looking to purchase a heater guard but can only find ones for up to a 100 watts. Do they make 300watt heater guards, or is there a very easy do it yourself way that i am not thinking about?

I've reciently started converting ALL of my tanks (slowly..one at a time of course) over to in-line heaters rather than internal ones. Safer for the fish...better heating...looks better...less equipment inside the tank.

Pvc pipe cut to length then drill many holes in it worked for me

It would be easier and take up less room just to go inline like Wolf mentioned.

I would go inline much neater looking and no worries of burns.

You can cut the 100 W guards up and combine 3 to make 1 guard for a longer heater. Worked for me.

Yeah worked like a charm did that monday lol. Went to my 2nd job(petland) on monday picked up 4 50 watt heater guards and used the great discount they give us. Pretty much can use the discount on anything except tanks grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
