WTB submersible heater
« on: January 25, 2010, 10:24:16 »
I need a small submersible heater (about 50W) for the 10 gallon I'm setting up.  Anybody have anything sitting around?

LOL - I could have gotten the same effect from the 150W Visi-Therm I had.  It was old, so I plugged it in to test...  Bubbles started coming out of the "sealed" power cord connection on the top of the heater ( I assume the heating elements fired right up, heating the air that was inside, causing it to expand).  I unplugged it and pitched it.  It's not worth taking a chance :)
