    Qn about substrate heater

    There is one end of the heater which is marked in black colour, and according to the leaflet enclosed, it is supposed to be buried in the substrate. But if I bury it in the substrate as instructed, then the 2 pin plug wouldn't be long enough to even reach the bottom of the tank from outside.

    How to overcome this? Anyone with experience?

    you may need to get a 2 pin female socket extender from an electrical hardware shop. I only saw it once from the electrician who did some wiring for my home....

    or you could just cut the plug end off and extend it with some wire in between (DIY).

    Suggest you do as Allen reccomended. Safer and neater. Extension plug would be quite bulky plus the added risk of water dripping into it.

    Thanks all for the reply. Maybe I'll resort to cutting the wire when all other alternatives are not available. Now still planning my wiring diagrams.
