The product, in the report: Cobalt Aquatics Accu-Therm Heater, 25-watt-awuarium heater for up to 6 gallon aquariums
I just purchased this product from Amazon earlier this month. I had it immersed the ENTIRE time in my 5 gallon jellyfish aquarium. It was set at 68 degrees F, and was about 70 in the tank. The heater EXPLODED today, the glass ruptured and the contents spilled into my tank. I immediately unplugged all the power to the tank, because it smelled like something was burning! These heaters are UNSAFE, and I will NOT be using them again EVER.
