hey i am trying to set up an aquarium and i dont know if the heater i bought is submersible. i want the heater to be hidden behind some rocks could i just wrap the top electrical parts with electrical tape then put a good silisone cover over the tape? I'd rather not have to buy a new one. or is this heater submersible the proquatics hydrosafe plus heater

You picked a good one there that is the most technologically advanced heater in the world., but i do not think it can fully be submerged. Also in my opinion your idea will work, but make sure all the electrical stuff is air tight.

thanks o and i got the heater with a 10 gallon aquarium for 5 bucks at a garage sale it works too.

I'm voting BAD idea. The only thing I would trust is encapsulating the entire thing in epoxy resin.

can i put a heater under gravel?

Tavel

nope, it can't be touching anything but water.

Get a visitherm stealth heater...

I have one in a turtle tank that hasn't broken in almost 2 years. And it's not because the turtle doesn't try. I have to place it about 1/4 to 1/2 way into the gravel so discourage him from ripping it up and once again making it stick out of the tank.

Very durable heater, no glass, 100% submersible, pretty much indestructible.
