According to e-mails sent out from pet smart, Marineland has finally recalled their lineup of stealth heaters. I've seen quite a few of these literally explode and blow tanks out, so I'm glad they're finally doing something with it.

Dear Valued PetSmart Pet Parent,

Marineland has issued a voluntary withdrawal of the Stealth PRO Submersible Heater (100, 200 and 250 watt). The product is being withdrawn due to a quality issue.

If you have this product, please stop using it immediately and take the following steps:

1. Unplug the heater from the wall to stop the flow of electricity
2. Let the heater cool for 15 minutes
3. Remove the heater from the tank

Please bring the product to your closest PetSmart for a full refund or exchange. Replace the product with a comparable heater as soon as possible to maintain the temperature of your aquarium. A PetSmart store associate can help you select the right heater for your aquatic environment.

If you have questions about this withdrawal, please call Marineland Customer Service at 800-526-0650 or 800-432-6986.

At PetSmart, we are concerned pet parents, too. We will continue to do everything we can to help you and your pet during this time.

    I have 3 of those. I had one split apart in my QT. Marineland sent a replacement and a return sticker for the exploding version.

    I have a 150 watt in my tank. Should I be worried?

    I've seen about 20 of them go kapuut, so I'd definitely call marineland and see if they're included

    and sometimes the kapuut is the heater exploding and blowing out a side of the tank.

    I will be calling Marineland tomorrow for there official stance on the 3 that I have. Two are the newer version that has the LED in the adjustment knob and one is not. The one that split was not the illuminated version.
