Heater Placement Question

[Capnbob]

Is it a bad idea to tuck my heater behind/underneath my live rock in the back of the tank near the substrate (place horizontally)? I'm trying to conceal it but I don't want to mess anything up...

Thanks in advanced,

Bobby

I would think it may get broken easier that way/ harder to change out. maybe not enough water flow?

No I don't think that's a good idea. You need it to be in good water flow. Do you have a fuge/sump that you can put it in? If not just put it in the corner. I do not think it will be very effective or smart to put it on the substrate behind LR. JMO

I'll just keep it in the corner.
