GZ_Loach Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I think its mostly to do with the thermostat, but it always pays to have all the glass submerged to stop heat stress caused by two different temperatures on the glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I was going to try finish filling tonight but had to stop, so had the heaters placed in prep for that. Put them on a 45* angle? IIRC they actually recommend not using them in a vertical position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navarre Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 if you angle heaters they heat across a bigger surface area so are more efficent stops thermal layers to some extents and because of both of these switch on and off less so theorectically last longer. still waiting for video of the shimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidey Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Put them on a 45* angle? IIRC they actually recommend not using them in a vertical position. i thought the jager manuals show them to be used vertically, it doesn't make sense to me but they do work just as well vertically as horizontally. my 300w is horizontal as the tank isn't tall enough for it to be vertical.
