    just curious the optimal spot for a heater that is inside the DT? next to a powerhead? next to filteration media inlet/outlet? etc..

    i dont seem to be having any problems with temp but if i could turn the sucker down alittle bit and be more efficient to save on electric bill thatd be great.

    any suggestions?

    As long as there is some water movement I don't think it really matters. Put it somewhere that you can't see it or touch anything living.
