I am sorry for the loss!!! Thomas please keep us posted with IO company if you would I really would like to know the outcome!!
A guy from the LFS that I go to he has a 500 gal reef tank. He had a bad heater which I will not say the brand but a respectful one. what happend is his tank over night reached 92 F and he woke of the next day to a dead 500 gal reef here is the outcome he sent the heater back to the company the took a look at and said that the thermostat got stuck and therefore wouldn't tell the heater to shut off. well the company replaced the heater and wrote him a check of 4000 for his loss of livestock and went on with there day. I forgot he gave them a water sample too. I honestly believed that company stood behind its product!!!!
