I heard a pop from my tank today. Shortly after a strange burning smell started coming from the tank. The only thing I could think of was my 200W heater... I pulled the heater out and did a quick inspection, it looked fine and even was still heating so I put it back into the tank. About 2 hrs later I still smelled burning so I pulled it out again to inspect. Looking closer I found a tiny 1 inch crack on the bottom and this brownish color substance leaching out.
I sent an email to cobalt but I am more concerned about how my water smells in my tank. I can only explain the smell as "industrial". Everything in the tank seems fine but I am really worried... I turned my RODI unit on and I should have enough water for a 50% water change tonight if I have to.
What should I do? A pic is below you can kind of see the brown rust like stuff (I hope it is not rust...)
