Equipment Review and Discussion :: Water heater

[matt2615]

I was wondering if anyone knew if this heater like won't crack if my turtle bumps into it and if it will then what should i put around it to prevent that?

I use that particular heater and I love it. It isn't glass, so it won't break like a glass one would, but it still has the do not touch zone, lol. I don't have anything around mine, and have never been inclined to. There are heater guards that you can buy, but I don't know much about them. One thing you can do is place it in your tank vertically instead of horizontally. Your turtle will be less likely to stand on it.
