I was wondering where everyone has their heater position and if they you use suction cups to hold it in place. Anyone just have it laying on the substrate?
 
I have it at an angle in my filter flow, so the warm water flows around the tank. I don't think that all of your tank would be heated if you just laid it on the substrate.
 
I've had it lying on the substrate before but I now have it lying horizontally under my HOB and powerhead intakes and seems to be on a lot less this way : )
 
I generally have them in one corner either vertical or at an angle (if the heater is too long and the tank too shallow). I've considered putting them horizontal near the bottom of the tank but that would make the temperature dial hard to see and adjust when necessary.
