So what is your broken heater story? Please I can't be the only one.

I have two stories - i mostly buy titanium heaters so they don't burst per sey but i had one on the 40 stop working so the tank got a bit chilly.

The worse story is i purchased a 25 watt for qt tank; I made sure it worked and heated to the correct temp then added the fishes. Next morning it got stuck off and the tank had dropped to 68 (killing my small clown loach); i checked it and it seemed to come on so left it to warm the water up and next time i checked the tank was 86. grrrrr.... returned it and put a larger 100 watt in the qt tank. piece of crap. I read the reviews but amazon lumps them with other heaters and it turned out from another site that model (at 25 watt) has an 80% failure rate grrrrrrr....

My little brother's heater broke in the sense that it started to over crank and not shut off. He came home one day to find is goldfish dead and his water was between 95-100 degrees F
