I am changing my filter to an external one(aqua one aquis 1250) i currently have a juwel internal filter with the heater slotted inside where can i put the heater or should i also buy a different heater.

Your call, but my personal opinion is a preferation of internal heaters. Position it below the filter outlet if at all possible, remembering to position it at an angle, so the heat rises up and into the tank instead of up vertically and potentially interefering with the in-built thermostat.

As for putting the heater at an angle, I recently saw a video clip on YT where the guy there said he always puts the heater vertical, I did raise this question on here and it seems a lot are in favour of it being vertical, but the decision is yours at the end of the day.
