I have rust on my submersible stainless steel heater. I used this heater in my cichlid tank. I broke the tank down and was going to use this heater in my reef, should I be thinking of buying another heater?

I would go ahead and get another heater. They are not expensive and will offer peace of mind. If fresh water will corrode the heater, then salt water will really wreak havoc on it.
