| Fallout Moderator Communications Specialist Posts: 6416 Kudos: 4053 Votes: 742 Registered: 29-Jul-2000 | Really Think about it... if you have the heater in a vertical position, the bottom of the heater element will heat the water, and heated water rises. This heated water just rises up over the rest of the heater coils, heating itself and giving an artificial reading to the temp control. Now turn it on it's side, and it will heat the water which rises up and away from the heater, essential becoming more efficient. Basically it's a bigger 'contact patch' for heating. |

| monkeyboy Fish Addict Posts: 521 Kudos: 375 Votes: 223 Registered: 10-Apr-2005 | really? i've always seen in the instructions and read else where that they have to be either straight vertical or horizontal.... but then again, i could put it even with the output from the filters Fish tanks are an expensive addiction |

| Fallout Moderator Communications Specialist Posts: 6416 Kudos: 4053 Votes: 742 Registered: 29-Jul-2000 | Gettin' there  You should turn your heater on a 45 degree angle tho, it will disperse heat better and become more efficient |

| monkeyboy Fish Addict Posts: 521 Kudos: 375 Votes: 223 Registered: 10-Apr-2005 | My drift wood is finally soaked and is now in the tank and one of my caves is done. Here is the pic I just took of the tank. I'll be adding some longer thinner pieces of driftwood in 2 weeks. the other cave i had should be finished in about a week. its much longer. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b48/monkeyboy000/150_setup/150g_11-19-05.jpg Last edited by monkeyboy at 19-Nov-2005 14:42 Fish tanks are an expensive addiction |

Sin in Style  Mega Fish Posts: 1323 Kudos: 1119 Votes: 165 Registered: 03-Dec-2003 | ya thats the kinda divider ive used. exact brand. allways kicked out on me and was an absolute pain to keep up right. thanks for the tip ill have to jot that down |

| monkeyboy Fish Addict Posts: 521 Kudos: 375 Votes: 223 Registered: 10-Apr-2005 | i started using the 29/55 dividers from big als online. basicly there is about 1 inch of gravel on the bottem and cut them to fit. but then they would slide. http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/product.xm but what i did to make sure their snug, was got rid of he plastic mesh that cam with it, was to replace it with some thicker mesh from like micheals or jo-ann fabric stores. because the mesh material it comes with is to thin and with the thicker, it holds it in place better.
