Fish: Re: [tropical fish club] Glass Heaters

"Maybe others are of the same impression as Dawn that the heater can

only be at the temperature it's set at?"

Hmmm, come on now brother. Why does it have to be a matter or stupidity

and nothing else? Why can't it simply be an accident? Like forgetting to

unplug the heater when doing a water change and exposing the heating portion

of the equipment? Everyone here is above forgetfulness? What about not

even being aware there was a problem with plugging it in and THEN submerging

it? Maybe others are of the same impression as Dawn that the heater can

only be at the temperature it's set at?

I think it's a bit harsh to label anyone that commits and easily made

mistake as stupid or dumb.

Besides, the glue on the back of stamps/envelopes didn't work out too well

for Susan on Seinfeld. With regards to gum, choking certainly is hazardous

to life. ;)

Thanks,

Please tell me , who would be so dumb (stupid) as to work with a glass

heater that is plugged in to the outlet and turned on

to 80 degrees and then put it into a tank of cold water or a fish tank

???????? Come on now !

If that is all the credit for "smarts" to some in this hobby....????

Well they had better take up something that they can not get hurt on...

Like stamp collecting , or bubble gum chewing.
