Thermometer Placement

[Jetstorm369]

Hey guys, where would you recommend placing a heater in the aquarium? Closer to the outflow, or the inflow, of water? Thanks!

I just place mine in the front corner. That's where I see a lot of people have them.

I wouldn't place it next to the heater.

Hey, sorry. I meant to say heater lol. Where would you put the heater? Thanks!

I usually use two. One as far from the heater as possible and one about 4-6 inches upstream from the heater. This just helps me gauge the accuracy of the heater.

Heater: in the path of highest flow.

Oooooh, I thought that was a curious question.

I place mine on the back of the tank away from the water flow - both intake and out put. Mine comes off an on as it needs and I've never had any issue with it.

I place my two heaters laying down underneath / next to the intake. Warm water gets pulled into the filter and comes out as warm outflow/current.
