They do this so that the tank does not get electrocuted & you do not get a shock. If you put your hand in & are standing in a puddle in a concrete floor or touching a steel stand etc, then you will get zapped as you become the earth.

I was wondering why it could crack without electrocuting the fish, thanks for that.
As for what happened to me, I noticed bubbles all over the heater and went to brush them off and as I did so, the lights along with all the power went out.
Once I've got a proper income I don't think I'll be buying second hand heaters again any time soon.
Cheers

Update:
I've been mucking around with it for the past 2 hours trying to get it ready to cycle my new four footer,
Problem is that it just won't seem to prime, I have gotten it to the point of sucking and spitting water like it should but it only worked for 3-4 seconds before getting rather loud.
So I turned it off, opened her up and added some more water to the canister to make sure that wasn't the problem. I shook it as much as I felt necessary (in other words; I stopped before the shaking turned into throwing it out the window).
I have gotten half a dozen mouthfuls of fish brew trying to get it primed...Nothing will work.
Any ideas as to what I should do?
Cheers
