Get a heater that does not use a glass tube and you will not have this problem again.

........titanium

oh LOL i thought that was a brand...not the material...sounds expensive though

[myjohnson]

Visi-Therm Stealth Heater, Azoo Titanium Electronic Heaters, or anything like these two.

They don't use glass so they can't crack. I have one of both.

Look into temp controllers too. Safer than sorry.

Do some light reading on this link and you get the idea of the types of heaters out there. None are perfect but some are better than others.

hmmm interesting...well what are the benefits of the controller? and are there any local store that sell them? i dont have time to order anything

[mark razmandi]

hmm i like these titanium heaters and controllers...very cool...but where can i find them around here?

[myjohnson]

The temp controllers are normally used by reefers on their chillers.

It basically cuts off power to the heater when the temp reaches a certain degree.

Every heater has a small temp controller built in, but this gives you another level of protection if your heater decides to over heat on you.

Where can you get it around here?

The buy/sell forum.

[mark razmandi]

so i take it no stores around here sell titanium heaters?

[myjohnson]

I would guess they do, I just don't know where cause I don't go to LFS that much.

Hanging out at Mike's, John's, and geoff's is all the fish store I need.
