Looking into any possibility or angle is always a good idea. As I mentioned, I try to keep the number of devices with electrical cords physically in the water to the absolute minimum. I don't have any SPS corals, so I do this for my own safety, not the livestock. I've seen a number of threads & posts regarding Koralia pumps going bad with regard to excessive voltage being introduced into the water. Heaters may also cause problems, particularly for those people who like to submerse the entire thing, control head, cord and all. I cringe every time I see this. Yes, many of them are supposedly fully submersible, but I prefer to keep the temperature control and cord above the surface, thank you. If you think about the mechanical linkage going from the knob down into the heater..... it's just another seal that could easily be compromised over time.
