Aquarium Advice FINatic
Happy Easter everyone!
I have a 25 gallon Fluval Accent aquarium. When I got this 18 months ago, it came with everything to run it. In the middle of the aquarium (see picture) it had a water column where it had two filters and a slot for the heater. At the top was a spout where the water shot out. For the first 6 months I had the heater in there, but I became worried that the temperature of the water was on consistent throughout the aquarium since the warm water shot out of the spout. I since moved the heater to where it is now in the picture but it is an eyesore and hard to clean.
My question is, was I correct in thinking that the water would be more consistent with the heater outside the water column, or would it be okay for it to be in the column, out of sight?
