first off i would see if you can get reimbersment from jbj or what ever company you got the heater from. uh the clownfish are bulletproof fish so im not to suprised they survived. the combo of electricity and chemichals probably. hope you get your problem fixed

also, a reason your heater could have exploded is that part of the heater was out of the water, and it overheated so check and see if your heater was fully submerged

Did you have the heater in the same chamber as the return pump?

You shouldnt put the heater in the same chamber as the return pump because when the water evaporates, that is the first chamber to lose water level. You have to keep the water at a certain level with glass heater tubes.

My condolences. It just makes you sick when you lose so much. I had a glass heater crack once. Didn't kill stuff, but shocked me hard enough that I'm always leary when I reach in the tank now.
