good article on the truth/design of aquarium heaters and their reliability. You can use something like this (plumbed into your sump) to protect it from explosions like the ones pictured above. ![]() |

![]() I have about 6 of these heaters running on my systems never had any issues. All have been going 1-2 years. Tried two hydor heaters first one stuck on good thing it was a small heater and the replacement one exploded within a month of use. I think all heaters have issues. But this is crazy

Brett - I saw the reference to copper as well. I'm not sure what would happen if you dropped a penny in your tank? In any event, a really big water change should be sufficient to dilute it. |

![]() Thank's that's good to know. My cichlids are getting kind of big and I actually liked the fact it was metal. Have had it for 5 years with no problems.

![]() What else can a guy really do? I'm sure it'll work out ok. Thankfully the tank did not have all your stuff transferred into it that would be heart-breaking.
