I have had all my aquarium stuff packed the for about 5 years due to being unable to set it back up because of unfit rental houses. I just got an 75g aquarium though and got my old equipment back out including my 250w Marineland Stealth heater. When it started acting strangely, I got online to look for the manual and found all the info about recalls and the heaters exploding like bombs!
The recall was in 2011 and I wondered if anyone knew if it was still active? Also has Marineland corrected the problem with their new versions? I really liked the security of the plastic coating and the fact that it gives you actual temperatures on the dial instead of just saying "hotter/colder". Should I get a replacement or get a refund so I can get something better? I don't remember how much I paid for it but I thought it was somewhat upper end as far as heaters go.
