Yes 👍So, considering the outlet pulling right next to the heating element, the spray bar spraying right towards the top of the heater where the thermostat is, and the high 11+ times turnover rate I think it's the best compromise considering. Do you agree?
That looks fine to me @FISHnLAB - especially since your going to have quite a bit of flow around it from the inlet and sprayer - I've had a very similar placement in the past when using canisters and much more powerful heaters.Hey guys, I am currently working on a build project(30cm Cube) and want to keep my in tank gear compact. My question is, how close can I mount a glass heater to a polymer intake? I have one mounted about an inch away from a pre-filter spounge in another tank and have had no issues but, can I go even closer then that? Would a half inch or so be pushing my luck? Here is the setup in question...

What ya think? Too close😁? Thanks guys👍.
It really takes the fun out of it though as it's so quiet these days
It is the same for all forums now I think.I wish I got into this hobby earlier when it was popular and before the rise of garbage social media.
Some to Facebook and some have left the hobby. I'd guess that forums have had their day and will eventually all wither on the vine.Where did all of the people go?
What’s the purpose of a journal? In my view it’s two fold: get input and advice from more experienced folk and share with less experienced folk. The will be many lurkers who, whilst not contributing, will read and learn from your journal.With this site having such low traffic I don't think it is worth the effort really unfortunately(I almost didn't even post these pics).

I totally agree with that @hypnogogia This is why I encouraged @FISHnLAB to put the latter part of the thread showcasing his excellent build into his Journal instead of adding it to the tail-end of a thread dealing with a specific question about placement of plastic tubes near the heater. The exposition of the build will easily get lost this way. Furthermore, Journals are a great place to ramble about topics that are not related to anyones specific questions, but just something thats on your mind that you think is worth sharing related to the hobby - you decide what is on topic and what is not - its your Journal! ... I will mostly be using my Journal for that. Yes, as you said, you will be surprised how many actually look and pick up ideas from journals even if they do not comment or otherwise engage.What’s the purpose of a journal?

That’s because folks had nothing better to do than look after their tank, sit in their garden and bbq. 😆As a forum user of only a couple of years standing I joined when I kicked off a new tank during lockdown. There seemed to be a lot of traffic then that has regrettably fallen away now… but there’s still a lot of expertise to tap into 👍😀
Spot on!Never delete a journal @FISHnLAB some are slow burners and members contribute further down the line and often ask how's it doin twelve months later. Can't remember who it was member enjoying reading some of the older journals and learning a lot🙂
