I have two visi-therm 400 watt heaters and am looking for guards. I figure since ray owners are quite apt to guard the heaters, you guys might know where I can get 'em. I've already got the heaters, so suggesting a different brand is kind of a mute point right now. Also, at this point I'm fed up with DIY projects. Thanks in advance!
 
I had one hell of a time finding any when I looked. I never did find any, I would also vote for pvc even though DIY can get old lol
 
thanks oddball for the suggestion i always had trouble finding them as well and just went with the diy pvc when i had to. i also use to use rena smart heaters as most of their heat comes from the inside when using it as an intake to a cannister or hob filter.
 
if you are going to diy them i do say get the bird feeder.
its a clear plastic cylinder about 2" wide and about 1' long.
it already has holes in it where the birds get the food. i think they are around 1" openings. i use the hole openings for the suction cups on the heater to stick on the sides of the tank.
i got my last ones at wal mart.
gl!
