spykey August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 I am in the process of changing my fish only system into a reef. That being said I am spending a lot of time changing things about my system. In the process of doing some cleaning in my tank, I moved my heater from my tank to my new sump. I got the shock of my life. I immediately unplugged the heater and did a google search on this heater to see if anyone else had similar problems. I found that my Plastic Stealth (made by marineland) heater had been recalled over a year ago because it caused fires!! Please all check your tank to see if you have this dangerous product also. See recall notice below. Moderators - Should we keep a running recall page or sticky for aquarium related recalls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 Sorry you missed the recall on that. There have been several posts about it already but you being not so active might have missed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davelin315 August 1, 2012 Share August 1, 2012 Good idea, I pinned a new topic here: Product Recalls. Hoping it doesn't get buried with discussion and imposed a no discussion rule, just reference things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan S August 2, 2012 Share August 2, 2012 Good idea, I pinned a new topic here: Product Recalls. Hoping it doesn't get buried with discussion and imposed a no discussion rule, just reference things. it might be easier to put them all in the first post, which you can always edit to add things on later on... (and sticky the thread) and let the rest be for discussion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extreme_tooth_decay August 2, 2012 Share August 2, 2012 I could tell from the title of the thread it was going to be about stealth heaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
