Filter Position Matter?

[LiQuiD]

Hey Everyone,

Just got my new 55 gallon long, and am ordering the Aquaclear 110 for it. Does the position of the filter matter for best results? I was thinking of having it near the middle, but would prefer having it off to the side.

Thanks!

It doesn't matter but because the 55 is rather long, if you start having flow problems you can always just grab a powerhead.

You should be fine though.

Thanks Icy. Fairly new to the hobbie so not sure what a power head is. How about heater position?

EDIT: Looked up power head, and now know what they are. I have seen them quite a bit, just unsure of what they were.

since its freshwater you dont need a tonne of flow. itll be fine almost anywhere as far as im concerned. put the heater where water will flow over it.

There is a lot of debate about heater placement, personally I just put it by the filter output or input, but you don't really need to.
