05-01-2007 01:01 by wayne	yes , espically if you have lots of liverock piled up, heater gaurds only about 3-4 quid

05-01-2007 01:05 by robinaero	Is a heater better laid on the sand floor or better to be attatched to the back of the tank like a tropical tank? Bearing in mind that the tank has a bumpy lumpy backing on it!
05-01-2007 22:21 by Linda Chenapa	Yes definitely use a guard. I'd put it on the end of the tank, not on the sand as you can get a build up of heat and that will mean a false reading, resulting in the heater not working as it should. If you have a sump filter then that would be the ideal place to put it or Hidor do an inline heater, if you have an external filter.
