This is my first tme scrolling through this thread, and I was quickly browsing it going "cool, cool" then came to a screeching halt! Tank on top of blender!?! Hmm..So after taking the time to read through this awesome thread I totally get it now! Too funny.
BTW I hated that heater that you got. I had one, and it failed to keep a good temp, and actually stopped working after a few months.
