Use styrofoam in the mean time. I also like the red. What kind of heater is that? Marineland? I know you are in Miami....Just stay on top of your water temp as my Marineland gave out after 4 months.:mad:

[dadecountyalan]

yeah its marineland that should be within warranty though right?
and what do you mean by Styrofoam.

Yup.....Sent my Marineland back, waiting for new heater.

Regular styrofoam material like what the sponsors use to ship their fish.....Just measure your tank and cut a piece to fit. Works just as well as painting it.

thats a really good idea. would they sell that at walmart?

[Eddie]

Use construction paper, your choice of color.

home depot or the crappy alternative L---s

I'd go with a stealth heater, can't crack if it's exposed to air.

I'd have to say nay, stealths are one of the worst.

The old style didn't; the new style certainly does.

[roundfishross]

the new ones are junk! thermostat tops out at 86degrees and they will explode!:mad:

[mmorris]

When they do, they smell to high heaven. The house will reek!

[roundfishross]

smells like carpet and wires burning!
