Heater in sump or DT?

[fishman77]

Would it be better to place the heater in the sump or DT? Which brand of heaters is better?

i put mine in the sump theres alot of flow there and u cant see it that way. Personally i like the marineland heaters, never had any trouble with them.

Sump also. One of the reasons for a sump, to hide unsightly equipment. I like the Eheim Jager heaters. Very reliable for many years.....many (heaters) of them (in my years of usage). Nice use of the English language? :banghead:

I put my heater in the display tank. That way, if the sump return goes out or I decide to power it off for maintenance, the DT still gets heat.

sump...and place the sensor(if there is one) before it in regards to flow. Make sure it has good flow where ever you place it

Heater Placement

One quick question "if in sump, where on the intake or return pump section?

 

[REEFGUY]

sump,put it somewhere in the middle in high flow

Depends on the size of the tank and plumbing. I have few in the sump and one in my overflow box, just in case the return pump fails and I didn't know it for hours in a very cold night. the heater MAY warm up the 300G of water a deg or two :lol2:.

What ever you decide make sure the heaters are fully submersible there are some that are not.I got a joult from a Ebo Jager once.

Eheim Jager was formerly known as Ebo Jager. So the answer to your Q is yes.
