Can I Submerge My Heater??

is it a submersible heater? some are, some aren't...

This is hard to figure out. Both submersible and non-submersible heaters will have a water line marking; in the case of submersibles that is the minimum depth and the maximum for non-submersibles. If you've read everything on your heater and it doesn't help, then I'd play it safe and keep it's top a bit out of the water. I hate having to mess around with non-submersible; submersible is well worth the cost.

if it doesn't clearly state submerisble on the packaging it most likely isnt....not worth the risk IMHO

You will have to see what type of heater you have. I just bought a new one yesterday, and the guy at the Lfs told me its totally submersible.... and I was like... "what?".... but then I realized what he was talking about.... it was a bit more expensive, but I would rather pay a bit more for a better, more reliable heater.
