trever22 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I just bought a finnex 4 gal on ebay with out a filter or light so Im going to get a AC70 filter and I would like to put my heater inside. So does anyone have any suggestions on a heater for a 4g tank that will fit in a HOB filter? Seriously any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Trever Link to comment
DaJMasta Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Having it external means it will keep the tank at a lower temperature than if it's in the tank, and that if you loose flow to your HOB, you loose heat in your tank... it's not the safest option. That said, I had a marineland stealth in mine for some time without any adverse affects. 25W may be enough, but I would consider 50. Just look at the specs for the heater you're considering and consider the length. If it's little too long, running the AC70 without a lid will make it fit. Link to comment
