This reaffirms my hatred of heaters. It seems like half of the reported tank crashes I hear about are directly related to a heater. That really sucks. Maybe you can find a good brand of titanium heater to replace the one that exploded/broke? Won bros and aqua-medic are both garbage but someone must make a good one.

Very sorry. It is truly sad to come home a find one of your fish lying on the sand let alone all of them.
Was it a titanium heater? I went through 2 Won failures and would not think of ever buying a titanium heater again.

I put in a Titanium heater now, not sure what brand.

I do have a grounding probe in as well as the GFI plug.

why not use a stealth heater?

I use them to cook rocks....almost indestructible....

Sorry for your loss.

I actually replace all the titanium heaters in the store, The failure rate was about 30% from the ones I replaced.

I use Rena's or Marineland Stealths in the store now.

I like the Hydor Inline heaters for home.
