Hey Peter... Just use some dowel rods or similar material to raise the tank off the stand, just a bit... that way no worries...

i was just wondering if your talking about hermit krabs or just a hermit crab heater...if hermit crabs them when they burrow they'll get burned.....try putting the heater on the side of the tank......if its not to late

[PeterD]

Thanks!
