While I'm at it(sorry for threadjacking) does anyone have any recommendations on a heater guard or a heater that might not burn? I'm still reluctant on getting this one but I really need to upgrade the aquarium heater now after returning the Eheim.
What temp did you have the heater set at? I own 3 heaters and they are all warm to the touch but don't burn me. 2 Aqueon's one Yeajer.
