    I got mine from Pet Supplies Plus. I've had it for over a year. Works great.

    I had one explode in my tank two years ago. Marineland sent me a check to cover all damages. I have a 300 in the 60 gal freshwater now with no issues.

    What heaters will everyone be switching to?

    I may be looking in to the Fluval E series heaters or the JBJ true-temp heater. Thoughts?

    Dear ERIC,
    We're contacting you with important news about your Marineland Stealth PRO Heater. Marineland is investigating quality issues involving the Stealth PRO Submersible Heater line, and out of an abundance of caution, they have stopped selling 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 watt models. If you have questions about this stop sale or to return these heaters under your Marineland warrantees, please call Marineland Customer Service at 800-338-4896.
    Please stop using it immediately and take the following steps:
    Unplug the heater from the wall to stop the flow of electricity
    Let the heater cool for 15 minutes
    Remove the heater from the tank
