I just found my neotherm heated tank at 96F. I don't need to tell you how it went. What piece of junk.

For all you wondering how to resolve this with Cobalt, go back and read my post on this thread, where I finally got a response. I just got a bunch of food and stuff from them--worth more than the heaters I lost.
Did your heater melt too? Ordinary overheating could happen with most heater models, due to their cheap bimetal thermostats wearing out. To avoid overheating the tank in case of thermostat failure, don't use a too large heater.I just found my neotherm heated tank at 96F. I don't need to tell you how it went. What piece of junk.
What would you expect them to do to make it right? Not questioning you as I am sure I would be very frustrated in that same situation but at the same time what expectation do you really have?
Sorry for off-topic, what was that issue about?When Seachem had there issue a year or two ago, reefer's tanks were nuked
Are the new heaters blowing up ? I noticed foster and smith had the 200 watt ones back in stock.

iirc bad batch of carbon, had copper in it. Each batch is now tested and they cut some serious checks to customers who were effected.
I've counted to 32 200W, 8 150W and one 75W. No 50W, and (strangely) no 100W.I've checked this thread periodically, but has anyone had the smaller 50w melt them yet or is it still isolated to the larger ones?
I know Kent recently in the past year had a major issue with their Carbon and wiping out tanks. It hit a LFS near me. There's a few threads on it. They compensated quite a few people for their losses.
I thought that was Blue Life when they released their new canister filters?
Or did it happen with Seachem too?

... I am leaning towards removing it.
The form factor will be tough to beat however.
I certainly would. I believe some of the titanium heaters are pretty compact.
Haven't seen them but sounds like they have some good marketing.I heard the Aqueon Pro heaters are very good. Anyone has seen them? They are also unbreakable
