hello i was wondering if the heater would work behind the back wall where the filter is

Although it did heat the water I didn't like the idea of the heater that close to the plastic separator so I returned that one and got a slim one that sets at the bottom of the rank under a layer of gravel. I hope this helps.

I don't like slowing down water flow in the tank. The heater should be kept in the main body of the tank. It works best there.

Yes - if you get the Hagen Fluval 25wt submersible heater, it will fit in the out-put portion where the little pump is. The Fluval heater is square"ish" with a slimmer design than any traditional heater I have seen. The only drawback is it only keeps my tank at 76 degrees and for my goldfish that is fine, tropical fish would be better kept at 78-80. This is a pretty little tank and mine is doing great. It arrived well packed, with no damage. Hope this helps.

Yes I have been running a 25watt heater for a long time in the back compartment and it is perfect I would recommend upgrading the lighting if you are using it for a reef but other than that it's a great little tank.

The top of the filter screws into the plumbing, much like a light bulb. You could perhaps mount the hose mount part on the wall behind your fridge.

Nope. The line "Ceramic heater core for even and efficient heat distribution" does not belong with this product. It is just a very good filter.

No to small it would work but over power the heater. You would need the next size up

yes, as long as you have the right pipe that fits. good luck! the heater works great !

You can't see through it - it should be ok as long as it does not touch the heater but I would check with the mfg

The length of this heater is fine. But I had to put the heater into the actual tank...it won't fit in the filter compartment with the filter that comes with the tank. It might fit in there with a smaller sponge filter set-up. Hmmm...I'll have to try that.

Since there is no air intake at the back it would be safe to wall mount this heater. I see no means of attachment on the casing so I would suggest a shelf with a surround fence up to the black grill-work on the front.

No, you will need to purchase a separate inline filter for the water line that is connected to the back of the unit.

The front is 5 1/2 inches from the wall once it is plugged in. It is a great heater!

Usually the watts rating is on the back of the plug. If the heater rating is less than this it will work.

I haven't tried that...it would be better to put the filter on the cold water intake to the hot water heater

Looks like 3 inches to me from the back of the acquarium to the wall this filter will need 3 inches. Hope this helps.

No. You will need to put a couple of elbows in your vertical line to accommodate the filter In a vertical position.

Mine did this. The small filter on the back was dusty. It couldn't suck enough air through to cool its inner parts and it shut itself off. I simply removed and washed the filter and put it back after it dried and it worked fine after that. I read in the Manuel later that this should be done at least once every 3 months to make the heater run properly.

You can attach it to your cold water line under your sink, or anywhere you have a cold water line, really, if your home is on a softening system already then it would hook up the same. I'd. Ask the manufacturer about how it would affect the filter life.

Yes.. I have both a slim heater and a bubble filter in the back... Works great. I have two of these tanks and my Bettas are both thriving! I will try to attach a pic for you..i hope this helps. I love my Bettas please let me know if u have further questions..
