I am keeping mine. Hopefully they will recall them in the future.

Just a quick note, I was able to successfully exchange my 250W Stealth Pro for an equivalent at PetSmart in Bellingham no questions asked (we go to Costco for some shopping and it's right next door).

So if you don't have a receipt and cannot return it to your local LFS, your local Petsmart is stepping up to the plate and handling this situation very well.

Cheers.

Marineland will replace the heaters, with their "visitherm" model if that is something you would like to do. You can call the number in the in the notice posted on the reef builders site (link in Brads post above).

No. I just asked if they're doing the heater recall and they said yup and took me over to the heater isle to pick an similar one (Hagen) and just rang it up on the register at $0. Very friendly people too.

So I read this thread last night, and I was quite happy to realize that when I was looking for the pros, they were no where to be found.

However this morning, I grabbed my original model stealth and got a pretty good shock. But at least it did not blow up in my hand.

Im still kinda sad about all this, as these were the only heaters I really liked the design on...

I need to unplug mine, one of the two heaters I have in my sump is a stealth pro. Failing by just not working anymore doesn't worry me... blowing my sump to bits does!
