Stu :) Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 I'm building a background for my new tank and I want to hide all the plumbing and electrical eye-sore stuff behind/inside the background. I was wondering how much space would I need to give my heaters (Jager 300watt and Jebo 300watt). Both heaters will be sitting in the path of filter return current.

Ira Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 A couple mm is fine as long as you have a tiny bit of current. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu :) Posted December 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 So 2000lph on the Jager and 1000lph on the Jebo would be fine :lol: Stu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Yup. Grab a heater when it's turned on(in the water) sometime. As long as there's a bit of flow they don't even get hot to the touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwipete Posted December 24, 2008 Report Share Posted December 24, 2008 Just as a thought, I hid all my wiring and hoses in a piece of alkathene (sp) piping about 18mm diameter. It runs from top to bottom of tank and is held in place with 2 suction cups. This was placed in a corner and has the heater near it. I split the pipe lengthwise to allow for inserting the cables etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
