I'm very interested in adding buried heat to my 16G bowfront in an effort to reduce visual clutter. It seems like they aren't very popular, and about the only information I can find is the listings on Amazon. The Hydors look nice, but are pricey.

Is there a reason this isn't a more popular way to heat?
Are there other brands or methods I should be considering?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
 
I don't know how warm these would get but I would be concerned about the heat being too hot for bottom fish. I would think that it would have to be too hot for their comfort so it could heat all the water.
