it's hard to let go once the electicity starts running through your hands, it seems to freeze your fingers shut so it's hard to open your hand and let go.

The stelath is by marineland visitherm. They are all black with a plastic casing so you can remove them from the water warm without shattering. Albert sold me on a couple as the best heater out there. They do work well, I just think I got a faulty one.

I seem to have bad luck with heaters though, I don't think I have ever owned one that has lasted past 6 months.

These are the heaters here http://www.marineland.com/products/a...rm_stealth.asp

That's the problem, I don't have my tanks on GFI's. I have seen ones that you can plug into a wall outlet online but when I have asked at Home Depot and Rona the guys in the elctrical department have looked at me like I am crazy.

I really need to replace my wall outlets with GFI's but I have 0 electrical knowledge to do it

let me ask our electrical dept and see if I can get you a source. I believe that there are power bars with GFIs.

Easiest thing, IMO, is replace the receptacles with the bathroom GFCI's. Turn offthe breaker, pull out the old one, connect the new one. Really, it's not too bad. If you want a hand let me know (I still gots me one hand - my left shoulder may be broken, but I still gots me one good hand!! )

I just may take you up on that offer Tony. Installing a wall socket would be cheaper than new power bars I would imagine.

i could probably come help you change them out. I am a journeyman electrican so it wouldn't be a problem. Mine took me about 5 min to swap out.
