Can I Put A Fake Plant Right Infront Of My Heater?

I want to disguise my heater

I have fake plants in front of my heater and my filter tube for the same reason. Had them there a month and had zero issues. I do keep an eye on it though, but it doesn't seem to be a problem.

I want to disguise my heater

Hi Emma! I'm not masquerading as an "expert" here, but I've been running a fishless cycle on my tank for about 6 weeks, and I had the same idea about hiding the unsightly heater with a tall plant. I haven't had any problems. It seems the heater (mine is set at 25C) doesn't actually get hot enough to affect the plastic plant that is very close to it.

It will be fine.

It will be perfect, the fake plant is a great idea for a heater disguise. Personally, i would use a real plant, because it looks better. But a fake plant works fine too.

Thanks all im just being over cautious

Also can anyone help me with a silly question... what is the little see through pipe i got with the filter used for?

It will be fine as in it won't come to any harm by being in front of the heater

Is it an internal?
If so, it could be a piece of airpipe that plugs into the nozzle of the outlet and has a venturi nozzle on top

Yes its an internal, sorry I dont know what that is... do I need it? Thanks for the help

IF you want increased airation of the water, go for it. Look for a hole around or on the nozzle and plug it in. If you can't find it look in the manual

oh right

it will be what they call a oxygen diffuser, my bioflow came with one... and i dont see the use of it, or its just a piece of slicone tubing dropped into your box and no relation to your filter
