Two months after Marineland stated they were investigating quality issues news comes they are recalling both the Marineland Stealth and Stealth Pro aquarium heaters. The total size of the voluntary recall? 1.2 million units. This voluntary recall is from “38 reports of fires resulting in property damage and 45 reports of broken aquarium glass.” In fact United Pet Group has received one report of a consumer who suffered an eye injury when the aquarium heater forcefully broke while he held it. United Pet Group is the parent company that owns the Marineland Brand. For those of you wondering what is recalled we have a full list of model numbers below that are affected. This recall applies to both the Stealth and Stealth Pro model lines. If you are using still using one of these heaters in your aquarium you are playing with fire, literally. You can bring your old heaters to any Petsmart or Petco for a full refund as well as most major retailers.

 

Get with it man, that is old news. WTH is wrong with you making new threads on already discussed topics?

 

figures. i only recently discovered this news and was the reason I'm back online today. search of 'stealth' didn't bring it up so i posted

i did not search past that though, to be honest. it brings up 2008 articles first and all that...

I think I'll add some tags to this one

I am lord search fail. It is good I have 3reef bookmarked or I might lose it too! j/k

For the record, in context, that reply was well worth my reading and shouldn't be considered hostile. ;D If any post in this thread is out of place, it would be that nonsense the OP put up.

By the way, have ya'll heard that they came out with something called a skimmer? Yeah, supposedly you don't have to use undergravel filters anymore!

(ok, i'm done)

 

I'll give you hostile. One of these days Peredhil, straight to the moon! Bang, zoom, straight to the moon.

i shall never get rid of my undergravel, skimmers are witchcraft.
