During a water change (~50%) the other day I started to hear a sizzle coming from my heater. I immediately unplugged my heater (I have 2 in the tank) Since that point i have not seen the heater turn on, I'm not sure if it broken because it could just be that my one heater has been enough. However generally during a water change I notice both heaters on because of the addition of cold water.
Is it possible to damage a heater during a water change. Do you unplug your heaters and let them readjust the glass to the tank temp during a water change? I am not sure what happened but when replace this heater I do not want to make the same mistake again.
