i dont think it matters much where you have your heater as long as the water can circulate around it so you heat all the water in the tank, in vertical or horizontal i think it is your own preferance. i do not have a strict position in any of my tanks apart from i place them out of sight as much as i can but also so i can check on them to make sure they are working.in my 72x30x24 both heaters are in the sump tank

IMO the best place for a heater is a high flow area.

Heat rises, so the bottom of the tank is also a good choice. If there is enough circulation, then the bottom is probably the best place. You can actually see the temperature different if you look at the tube. It's like a hot day on the road, where you see the fumes if you look closely.
