Same here. I've actually had to unplug one because it was starting to over-heat.

you should check and make sure the thermostat isn't bad. It should have shut off.

I run 2 300's on my 220 and it is more then enough...

thanks for that advice. I always prefer to hear from the folks who have been exactly where I am.
If that's the case i guess it would be ok to go with the 2 jager 250w. like I said. i have Jager on my other tanks and I like them. i prefer to stick with what I know.
 
All the heaters recomended above are great ,but if u go with a stealth you need to calibrate it with a digi thermometer.
 
A single 500W titanium heater would do the trick as well, or a pair of 250W titaniums.
 
The green topped ebo's are bar none the best heaters ever made, somewhere along the lines the company switched owners and started coming out with blue topped ones that are known to malfunction.

Stealth heaters are the current top on the list from what I've been hearing out of everyone, and if you print out PetsMart online price and take it into a store they will price match for you.
