Thermometer broke

[Joester2k3]

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.
