Default Stealth Heaters - A+

I've got two, and I have to say they're the best heater's I've ever owned (between my old FW days and my current SW days). They have aluminum heat exchangers so they can't break, and they're plastic coated, so they don't get the oxidization grunge titanium heaters get. They're fully submersible, and their temperature setting is very accurate.

I have a 250W model and a 150W model, and they both get an A+. Probably the ONLY things in any of my aquariums that work exactly as they're supposed to

I agree I use them as well and they are quite nice. Very accurate and long lasting.

What Tom R said..where and how much? I had one come apart the other day while I was working in the sump and about knocked my socks off...I wasnt impressed. It was a Visitherm which I tried after a Ebo stuck open and got my tank to 97 F before I got home. I really would like to find a bullet proof heater that doesnt need a $1500 controller.

Stealths ARE Visitherms (pretty much)! They're made by the same company.

There's no such thing as a bulletproof heater on its own. Ebos used to be as close as you could get but they've gone downhill since Eheim bought them out.

The only way to be 100% sure is with an outside controller. Short of that you can use multiple small heaters rather than one big one so if and when one sticks on, you'll have time to notice before it fries the whole tank.
