I have a Brand-X 350-watt glass heater in my tank. The thing is nearly a foot long, and I'm sick of having it hanging in my tank. I'm not sure I want my snails crawling on something that gets that hot, and I don't want to look at it anymore. However, I have a sump and the water level in it is only about 5 inches deep. Therefore, I'm unsure where to put the heater. I can't put it in the overflow cup, and nothing else comes to mind. Any suggestions?
Also, I don't like the fact that my heater has the thermostat in it. It doesn't seem very intelligent to put a thermostat for a heater in the heater if it can be separated somehow. It seems that the activity of the heater would skew the results of the thermostat horribly. I've never seen a heater that doesn't do this, though. Any comments?
