:)Just some info about the Marineland Stealth Pro Heaters .. i just got off the phone with dr foster and smith and was told they are NO longer carrying these heaters because their heaters failed and the Marineland company recalled them all.. so if you have any recent purchases and they don't work properly or your nervous about any issues with them that may pop up.. {mine went crazy one overheated , two failed completely.. and the rest of them we are replaceing..so Watch the Marineland heaters.. they are faulty....
 
I had one blow up in my tank and got a cheaper replacement. i think this issue came up around 2008, idk why store would keep on stocking them
 
well here it is again in 2011 and it still is a big issue.. i hope you were able to get them replaced.. i hope i can too..
 
The recall was issued months ago. They are not being sold to stores anymore. For information on how to return the heaters, call United Pet Group at 800 338-4896 between the hours of 7:30AM and 5:30PM ET Monday through Friday.

thanks very much.. good info.
 
The issues with Stealth heaters have been going on for years - I had one overheat and rupture two years ago.
I received this letter in the mail regarding the recall:

It's too bad they were still selling these heaters until recently, as Marineland admittedly knew they are defective.

It is good that you created this thread Liz, as a lot of people may not have heard about the recall or the dangers of using these heaters (overheating, rupture, and even several explosions).
