Heater Malfunction

I avoided being electrocuted today.

Today's 12 gallon sea water change preparation was interrupted by sparkles. This 150 watt glass heater popped off a chunk and exposed the elements to the water. There were an unusual amount of gass bubbles on it before I plugged it in. Maybe I should have wiped them off to avoid a heater malfunction? Or, because I am constantly moving the heater before and after water changes, I might eventually cause a micro crack? I should invest in a "shatter proof" heater for the water change preparations.



I'm going to toss out the water preparation since the heater leaked out some ozone-smelling, black liquid. Why take a chance?
