Howdy,
Related, but distinct from, the issue I'm discussing in this thread:
I have purchased a new OASE HeatUP 100 heater and currently have it positioned vertically in the middle of the back wall of my tank. I'm calibrating the heater but now I wonder, is this the optimal position? Should I instead place it behind my sponge filter on the back right wall? The sponge filter is running the Easy Flow attachment and I now run the ACOOP air pump at 3 for power.
Thoughts? Where and how do you position your heaters? Bonus points if it is the OASE HeatUP 100 🙂
