I did buy a new one. Eheim-Jager 250watt, swapped it out for a 150watt Ebo-Jager from my 125g. To be honest, most of my heaters are used except the one that just died. That's right, the Via-Aqua steel heater I bought new five years ago is the one that died. The rest of my used are Ebo-Jagers are going strong. Odd. But not surprising.
