Heater placement

ugluk · 02/04/2007, 12:43 AM

I have two 200w heaters in a 72 gallon tank. Where would be the best place to put them, on the extreme left and right of the back wall of the tank or close together in the middle point of the back. I can use 1/4 and 3/4 cause thats where I'm going to put the filter and skimmer.

It doesn't matter. Just put them out of sight and where they won't get broken.

They should be in a reasonable flow area.

If you have a sump that is a great place to hide heaters.
