Should I Move My Heater Closer To Middle?

[phlawed]

I was wondering if i moved my heater closer to the middle of the tank if it would help keep the tank temp better. I havnt had any probs it just seems that the left side would always be a bit different temp than right by the heater. Just curious

In general, It doesn't matter where your heater is. Water is really good at distributing thermal energy. If you have a really long tank (>6 feet) and really low flow you might see a meaningful temperature difference.
