So i was sleeping last night and at about 4:30 am a loud "POP" and a flash of bright light woke me up. At first i thought the timer on one of my terrariums malfunctioned and a lamp burned out. So i rolled over and went back to sleep.
But the nagging feeling that something was really wrong would not let me go back to dreamy land. So i got up, threw on my robe and ventured downstairs.
(i live in a loft, that is how i saw the light from upstairs)
I looked around and none of my lights were burned out anywhere. So I figured nothing was wrong. Just as i started to walk away, i noticed something brown on the heater in my 10 gal.
The glass on the heater had exploded and a brown substance was all over the insides of the heater. the bottom of the glass was laying in the substrate.
I am lucky my fish weren't electrocuted to death. I pulled out the glass and the heater. and replaced it today with a higher quality one.
