How old is your heater? What are you measuring the temp. with? Sometimes the thermometers are faulty. If I were you, I would first check all of the equipment or just go ahead and buy another heater. Stealth heaters are very well made and reliable. The cost for a heater for your 55 gallon shouldn't cost more than $20. Just download the price from Petsmarts website and Petsmart will honor it at the store. Hope this helps, The Doctor.
 
stealths are great i use them in every one of my tanks, but there more like 30

Yeah, I was just checking the price at Petsmart, http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2754055. I was sure I paid around $20.00 for the 250 watt Stealths. Now I see that they are $30 and above. Can anyone confirm for me that the price has increased? However, Stealth heaters are the only one I use. The Doctor.
 
i just bought 2 more of them yesterday and it was almost 80 bucks, at petsmart, and it was for a 50, and a 100 watt, but you get what you pay for
