I love those heaters! They tell the temp of the water and what temp they are running at....I think. There weren't any real directions (at least not in the digital ones I got).

Not entirely true placing it in the filter has water movement around it constantly . You would be surprised where they can hitch their little tails at. Just because it is plastic doesnt mean they cant get burned they can still hitch on and get burned . As for the biowheel loose it it is a nitrAte factory and horses are sensitive to that . The question of skimmers is still debated but I did not use one water changes are more efficent at removing TDS and such than any skimmer. Skimmers sometimes put out micro bubbles that cause a problem on horses ... that being said read read and read as horses are a bit more difficult than just plain salt water fish .STARFYRE said:I would go with the cover for the heater. Having it directly in the tank will be a better source of heat. There's a bunch of LR in front of it, which will make it hard for the ponies to get back there.
