Hydor Theo heater cooked my discus : (

[Double Up]

I also bought a Hydor Theo 300W 3 years back. It ran fine for 6 months before it stopped working, the temperature was down to 75 when I got home from work. I called up petsolutions and they sent me a new one. Again it last for about 6 months and this time it almost cook my fishes, I was lucky these were all adults. I found that they were having lots of recalls. I will never buy Hydor again. In the past, I had Ebo Jager quit, but it always just quited and the water will cool down.

I emailed Hydor about the issue and they told me to send the broken heater in. I'm glad they got back with me and are offering support but I really dont want them to send me a new theo. I will never use a theo ever again.

i think my fish is bloated. when u add epsom salt can u just add it directly to the tank or do u have to dissolve it first in water than add it

I just put it directly into the tank at 2 tbls/10 gal.

KENS FISH, they are like $20 plus shipping best deal ever!

Damnit, that is a great deal but I already bought 2 stealth pros. A 200w and a 100w. When I get my 90 gal in the summer I'm gonna go through Ken for the heaters, etc.

For the guys with the broke hydor theos, was the heater fully submerged in the water?
I wonder if that would cause any problems?

I have two Hydor ETH 200w inline heaters on my 90. No problems so far, but.... Anyone have any comments? I did go to the Hydor website and see that there is a recall posted on their home page regarding the 300W and 400W Theo models. http://www.hydor.com/news
