My thermo broke today and the lead balls fell into my tank. I got them out as well as the glass. The actual mercury tube didnt break so i think ill be alright. What are your thoughts guys????
 
I think as long as the mercury did not getin you`ll be OK. Alot of the new thermometers dont have merc in them anyway
 
Have you identified all the glass? If not be very careful when working in the tank. I see you said the murcury tube did not break and that is good although I belive most themomoters unless they are very old use something else now.
 
There is one more peice i have to get out yet and its back to normal. I was really mad cause it jsut finished cycleing and everything iwaslike I DONT WANT TO START OVER lol
