Default Tank Crash thanks to a aqua heat titanium heater

So got a call from my wife, dead fish(sand sifting golby) in tank I get home and a bad smell was coming from the tank.

SPS and LPS are dying everything is melting other fish are missing and the snails have flipped onto their backs its a bad thing to see, but the aiptasia seem to be dying also so that is good I guess.

I look at the temperature and its cold, oh that must be it I think to myself so I check the heaters both are aqua heat titanium heaters I look at the controllers both are on and showing that they are heating.

I pull one out and here is what I see



Heating tube no longer attached to the wire and still looking like its pumping out the juice and no GFI trip.

I have started to do some water changes and bought a new heater as the water was really cold.

Had this heater for less then a year I checked the other on and it seems fine at this point.
