Hey I made it back got a question tho. wondering if anybody has had experience with the visitherm stealth heaters need to replace a ebo jager that i cannot replace w/o a 3 hr drive mine is 125 watt need a 250 watt

I love my stealth heaters and replaced most of my heaters with them. All I have left is 1 working ebo jager out of 3 that I had and a via aqua titanium heater which no longer shows a light when it's on. The 5 or so different sized stealth heaters I have still work perfectly. I've dropped some from the height of my 90g(6?') on to a cement floor, left them on while emptying a tank or 2, and the most amazing one was I dropped one while moving tanks from my mom's house and my boyfriend ran over the end of it with his little car, and all still work fine. I'm very hard on heaters. When the guy at the lfs first recommended one to me he said they tested them by slamming them on the floor and using the bigger ones to play baseball and they still kept the same temp afterward as they did beforehand. My only compaint which some people think is a good thing is that they have no light when they are on. You have to touch them or leave a thermometer in the tank to tell when they are working. That also means that they are less noticeable and you won't see a glowing light coming from your nicely aquascaped tank. It would be nice though to be able to just glance at the one in the sump of my saltwater tank and see if it's coming on or not.

The stealth is the only heater I use and recommend

There is two very good rules with heaters. One run two if possible and always have a replacement if it is going to go faulty you can gurantee it will be at a time when you can not get a replacement for some reason or another.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Stealth heaters are great. My tanks have very little temperature fluctuation with them, and they are easy to hide. I've had very good luck with my two (soon to be three) in the few months I've used them. They also come with a useful feature that shuts the heater off if it is not in water. You don't have to unplug them during water changes.
