According to USPS tracking I should be receiving the sand to fill out the 'fuge today...
I moved my 300W heater into the 'fuge last night. So I woke up this morning and the power was out down stairs... I flipped the breaker and everything came back on so I took off for work. My girl called a couple hours later and apparently it was back off. Roommate called a couple hours later and it was still off. I had him flip the breaker again and it came one but crashed again after a few minutes. So I went home a little early for lunch to check it out. I hit the breaker again and went inside to look at everything...
The fuge looked like a little fireworks display. The heater was cracked with a big chunk of glass on sand and it was sparking like crazy. I pulled the plug immediately and removed it from the tank. I didn't know what to expect, but the lone hermit in the 'fuge is still alive so I guess it didn't get shocked into its next life. I have a little 50W backup heater going, but I had to get back to work, and here I am still, before I can go pick up a new heater... Water temp is off by about three degrees and I hope it doesn't get any worse. Everything looked
okay in the tank, but not particularly happy. No idea why the heater could have cracked... It was a 300W Visi-Therm Deluxe and was less than a year old. Bummer.
