    Default THEO Hydor heater disaster

    My 4 week old THEO Hydor heater blew up this morning. The glass casing is in about 50 pieces in my sump.

    All corals are unhappy with a few bleaching and all retracted. Stomatella snails are everywhere upside down. Fish and shrimp seem fine so far.

    I have carbon running and water is currently mixing. Any other suggestions?

    It looks like things will pull through but were not out of the woods yet.

    Any other bad experiences with this heater? Reviews at Marine Depot were positive so I bought it. I hate heaters!

    Ebo Jager heaters are great and I hardly ever hear them failing.
