  • I cracked my heater, should i remove it?

    well i planned on doing a small water change on my 20g like i normally do and the water doesnt go low enough to expose the heater so i didnt turn it off...well i decided to drain more water out than i had planned and forgot to turn the heater off and when i filled it up my heater cracked but it did not break, ive had one explode before. should i remove it or will it be alright? it still works but i did see the light dim and get really bright right before it hit the temp cut off

      Remove it, you don't want a scientific explanation... Just do it.

            unless your house is super cold or fish are super sensitive then im sure your fish will be fine for a day or two with no heater

                Don't know what make heater you have but in the past I've been able to buy new glass tubes and replace them on my HOB heaters.
                'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
                He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

                    aqueon heater = junk

                    mine carped out on me in about two months. get a jebo jager , or a titanium heater.

                        most lfs carry jebo, not petsmart/petco though. around $30 or so. depending on size.
