I just picked up a Jager heater for my tank to replace a different brand that I think may have been giving me trouble. Have had one on my FW tank for lord knows how long....would be my suggestion after trying a bunch of new types that are not as good.
Yes gotcha...could also be this if it is one sided. The previous one is really bi-valve. https://www.mitchellspublications.com/guides/shells/articles/0015/ or better view underside is this...
Man I believe a new tank is the way to go....big plastic brute or Rubbermaid container to hold everything until you get it. No offense but this is more hassle than you need.
Lower the water as suggested...before it fails. Well I guess if you didn't like the tank you can buy a new one. What size is it? My 55 cracked there so found one on craigslist .. guy was 3 blocks away so I lucked out newer tank and minimal cost. Maybe someone here has something?
Chris just repeat after me ...It is all Ed's fault!!:D OK for all you guys who are youngsters here on the board Chris has always been a huge supporter of NJRC. So we are actually getting a lot more info than most of the other people out there as Ed is a test subject.

2A. Sounds like the heater may have cracked or come unsealed. yes they can malfunction but if you are controlling it with a controller there should be no electricity going to it.
3A. Try leaving it alone in a good spot. Might just need some time, you can give it a shake to see if it is...
AO is my favorite and all but a couple clowns in the past 7 years have come from there. One I got from Hawkeye and one from ACC, they are pretty nice too. Also if you happen to want clowns Pacific East has them on sale and they have fish also if you are going mail order.
Had to laugh at that because while I suppose it is a horrific thought as a RBTA owner it is something that I would understand trying. Very funny.:glee: I have blocked some crevices using a carbon pad a few times to keep one of the guys from invading a space. I found they work well because...
On a serious note I have a toadstool from Carlos (Coral Farmer?) don't remember for sure the name he had a little booth in 2007 and 2008 at the frag swaps. Herds of Kenya tree. And Ricky has a Nepthea leather in his tank that I got for him from Justin(Arce) that is pretty cool.
