Yeah, I already smashed one myself (outside the tank), so I only have one left, the other one I have is the titanium rod style, much better. I was looking at that the other night scratching my head going " man if that last heater gets broken it will fry some fishies". As I moved my QT out into the sun and it's not on a GFI I have seen people put a piece of pipe over them before.............. Good idea, just never done it yet

I noticed the glass aquarium heaters in you system and i used to do the same but i have just had one smashed by a couple or horny koi!!!! So they are now inserted into a piece of pipe that is peppered with holes and stuck to the side of the tank.
