Here’s an interesting thought..’Aquarium heaters; they often tell you to place heaters at an angle at the rear of the tank. Many years ago, I began experimenting with new ideas. I never liked the heater in the angled position. It looked odd to me, stuck there in an untidy way. I found it almost impossible to hide it with rocks-plants, ect, and it made cleaning the back glass so awkward too.
I decided to place the heater in the corner straight up the corner. Then, worried about the heater malfunctioning as suggested in the instructions, I turned the power head so that the flow was directed at the heater. It worked. As the heater came on, and even flow carried the heated water straight off, and it showed no signs of breaking down, no signs of temperature fluxuation and that heater, old it may be but still works today!
And by placing a plant in front of it, the nasty ugly heater was easily blended into vanish-land.
Hope this helps..he said.
