I hope their new heater line isn't a reaction to the recession. That might suggest to me that the new heaters are less reliable. We'll see!

the estimate for the fish came to 189.97, to replace all the loss. And of course I go to get the estimate and dont come home with out some fish.:duh:
Anyone use something like this? http://www.catalinaaquarium.com/product_info.php?cPath=29&products_id=1549
Considering trying it out if it is fish aquarium safe to safeguard against this type of heater failure. All I have are Stealths.

Oh, man, what a horrible loss, I'm so sorry!
I'm experiencing some heater trouble myself right now- a cheap heater that won't raise the temp above 70F in my betta tank. I had to temporarily transfer my betta and otos to the 20 gallon until I get a more reliable heater. It's so true that smaller tanks are more difficult to keep stable, temp-wise. I'm half-tempted to keep them all in the 20 gallon, but I'm also paranoid about bioload, lol. :huh:

I had the same problem several years ago with a Jalli titanium heater. My tanks are in the basement which gets very cold in the winter. I was gone for a few days and the water went down to 54 degrees. I really wonder if Marineland is going to reimburse for the loss of fish. Good Luck
So for a news update. I just got off the phone with marine land, all I can say is great customer customer service. They are going to cover all my loss of fish, and the are sending me a replacement heater. They offered me the new design of the heater, or a visi-therm deluxe heater. So I have lost that sour taste for marine land and will continue to use there products.
