Jesus...I was doing a 50% water change just now and had the water level way down...I thought I smelled something burning, but paid no attention to it. Well, I start filling the tank back up and hear this loud "POP" and my heater had busted! Glass everywhere...exposed electrical stuff to the water! I quickly snatched the plug out of the wall and took it out and cleaned the glass out. Now I gotta go get another heater.
What a bummer. I was only changing it cause my nitrites were high.
So, that is a lesson for us all...dont mess with the water while the heater is running.
