Hi everyone,

I have a problem with my heater. I have one that hangs off the edge of
the tank, but it keeps slipping down too low and I feel like it's gonna
eventually short out and fry my fish. So, I'm looking for suggestions
on fully submersible heaters, as I like the idea of them better anyway.

Thanks,

Chris

Until you get the submersible, try cleaning the glass to which the
suction cups are attached. Wipe the suction cups as well. I find
that helps for a few months.

Believe it or not, a thin dab of vaseline spread on the suction cups
helps to hold them on the clean glass. I, too, am moving to
submersible heaters for my 30+ gallon tanks, but I want to use the
non-submersibles as back-ups and in smaller tanks.
