You can have them replace them with any marielandmodel that you choose, they don't like to tell you that.

hmmm. that's a good point. will call again since they should get by tomorrow wed. & see if I can switch to the deluxe.
as for willfull exposure, I plum forgot. also, besides the pro I also had the deluxe in same tank but that w/o auto shut off was not damaged.
I have to say the quality coming out of china has a poor track record!
will be ordering more deluxes but hope they will be italian made...

the thing about titanium heaters, is that if you leave them running while lowering the water, you're likely to melt the suction cups and holders right into the tank. happened to me, true story.
the heater and tank were fine, but the suction cups were a ball of goo, and the smell was awful. not something you want in your tank.
what all these heaters need are quick shut offs wherever the thermostat dial is. unplugging is not always as easy as it should be.

Well I ordered 3, 100 wat stealths from kens, and today I got 3, 100 watt stealth Pro's. Not too thrilled about that.
I'll bet that soon the Pro model will replase the regular stealth.
Anyway, I put one in my tank, and we'll see how it goes.
Incidently, I did have a 250 watt stealth that actually melted the plastic bracket that holds it to the suction cup, so these heaters do get that friggin hot.

This morning I discovered the water temperature in my 29-gallon tank at 92 degrees. My fish, especially the cories, were in a bad way. I can only presume my Marineland Stealth (made in Italy) heater got stuck "on." I immediately removed the heater from my tank and changed out about 13-14 gallons of water. I also added two air bubblers to increase the oxygen in my tank. Temp has dropped to around 80 degrees and, so far, no one has died. I just hope I really do escape disaster. To say the least, I'm not very happy about this. In all, I have 9 or maybe 10 Marineland heaters -- all bought within the last 15 months. If I have to replace them all, I'm going to be really pissed!
