Yes, I attempted to dye the water a light blue, but used a tad too much dye. - LOL The dye is a concentrate for large ponds. The instructions say 1quart per 1,000,000 gallons.
I used this system many years ago to heat approximatly 40 gallons of water for a juvenile Philippine crocodile. One of the *many* requirements for me keeping this crocodilian (I was only baby sitting him while his main enclosure was being finished) was that no AC power enter its enclosure.
A standard aquarium heater protected by a section of PVC pipe, with the AC cord protected by Romex or other flexible conduit probably would of worked better or a titanium heater with protected cord but unfortunately these were not an option because they didn't meet the requirements.
