Same as topic, can I run a 50watt heater behind a vinyl wall in the back on my aquarium? Just asking, I will have a pump to circulate water behind the wall so the heat dissapates clearly. Can this be done?

i'll get pics later of what im talking about...

As long as the heater isn't touching the vinyl it shouldn't be a problem. Most tanks run in the high 70's and that is really no hotter than a warm day and vinyl doesn't melt in your car at that temp.

Ok thats cool, it runs on low anyways. But just to make sure I will run a flow of water behind the wall. If you wanting to know what I am doing its a little Aqua-Project in mind... :)
