yeah but i doubt the fry broke it

i think what happened was a drop in temp in the room we live 22 floors up and get a wind from lake ontario my wifey said she had the window open to air the place out ,ive noticed that this heater took a while to come on when i bumped the the setting to a higher temp,probably a bad probe
still they shouldnt break like that





maybe my wifes trying to off me

I don't like Visa-Therm heaters because two of them have broke in the past in my tanks. One was a 200 watt in a tank with tetras and barbs and the other was a 50 watt in a tank with killies, so I don't think the fish knocked them around.

Now I only use Ebo-Jagur and I have a Hydor inline on the 75 with an oscar and fire eel.

It wont shock you you might get a tickle, but the water is a lot more conductive than you or your fishies

Try Ebo-Jager heaters, I love these Ebo-Jager heaters... i use them for my tanks and never had any problems . They have stronger and thicker glass, and they are also fully submersible!

tell the manger in petsmart to upgrade your heater they will if the brand has been a problem they don't like to loose us fishnuts as customers
