I want to know the best place of situating the filter and heater in a corner fish tank? Was thinking of putting the filter in the centre at the back of the tank but don’t know where to put the heater. Can anyone help?
i have an 72 corner tank, and for a tank like that you want a canister filter as HOB filters will stick out too much if your planning on placing it next to a wall.
On my tank, i have the spray bar, as it is an ehiem, on the back side of the tank and it is spraying towards the front, that way the current will follow the curve and circulate the water evenly.
The intake is on the other back wall.
The heater should be right next to the intake, as the intake will suck up the heat from the heater and it will circulate the heat when it comes back out of the filter.
But that is fishkeeping tankset-up general, the heat should always be by the intake of the filter.
that is good for the filter but the heater should be on one of the sides
