Weird. Anyway, there were some on those sites, but none of them quite fit what I wanted, the ones with the ability to protect themselves from low water levels were more expensive than I want, many of them were 120v, Australian mains is 240v, and there's also postage to factor in. I think that, given I already have a heater that's safe to use in an empty tank (it's designed to be used in air), all I need is a couple of plumbing supplies and some time with the blowtorch. For a first experiment with immersion heating, I think the glue gun is a better option, all things considered. Also, I don't have to wait for it to arrive in the mail, haha. That said, thank you for putting me on to them, I may well grab one at a later stage in the process.Frazerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01571477043320293227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1199810171048616550.post-6788110949742958252011-07-26T07:31:47.742+10:002011-07-26T07:31:47.742+10:00Might be worth noting that cartridge heaters are p...Might be worth noting that cartridge heaters are pretty inexpensive and completely sealed. Not sure what kind of output you'd be looking for but you'll probably get one for under $20. Grainger or McMaster Carr.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
