I just learned of this and am passing along the info.

Image of letter acquired from reefbuilders. I didn't get a copy before I left work.

Thanks for sharing!!!

Luckily I avoided that brand, last month, when I baught my heater! I forsee some happy reefers very soon, after reading this one!

What are you using now Chris? Luckily I have a titanium ground in my tank, and am using the not recalled 50w. They have been known to explode, and can break a tank.

I went with this guy-

Apparently marineland has made an agreement with petsmart to help handle the recall. Several people on a freshwater site have printed the email from this link and returned heaters for store credit with no receipt. I will be trying it out later this week.

Looks like that Petsmart recall is only for the Pros. What is the difference between the Pro and normal Stealth heaters? We have a ton of Stealth heaters around here and I'm not sure whether they are pro or not...

The pros are the new version with the led to tell if they're on.
