There was a horrible smell from the liquid in the heater. Any ideas?

What liquid was in the heater? Have you unplugged it? Have you removed it?
Do you mean thermometer?

There should not be any liquid inside a heater. If yours had liquid in it, that means it has had a slow leak for a while. It stinks because it's been slowly leaking and cooking fish poop and I'm sure that would be pretty nasty smelling.
I doubt there is anything there that will harm the fish, just do a 25% water change to be sure and replace the heater, obviously.

Switch the fish out of the water immiediatly. It might have tainted their breathing water, and gotten into theri systems...
