I've had many heaters crack and/or blow out and never lost anything. I've also had stray voltage in tanks and never had anything harmed. all this was in 55G or larger tanks.
This is an example of a small problem causing a large problem in a small tank.
Sorry for your losses. When/If you start over, Go larger.
