How do you hide your ugly heaters?

[Slappy*McFish]

I usually either just put them vertically in the back corners or horizontally near the top directly below a filter return. Hardly noticeable and they heat my water just fine. I've never kept my heaters near the bottom or at a 45 degree angle. I think that suggestion is fine, but by no means is it an absolute requirement. Put your heaters where you want. The most important thing is to have good water flow around them to carry away and disperse the heat.

My order from Dr. Foster and Smith came in today, so I received my Stealth heater for my 20g tank. This was easily hidden by driftwood and the bubble from the airstone.

For the 37g I like the idea of hiding it behind the filter intake. Combined with a Moss wall and the heater guard (if I can find it locally) it should be invisible. Thanks for the ideas guys.

Rotala Indica. It gets pretty bushy and grows really fast. Actually it's between that and the alternating reinieke just so I can read the digital readout. But that's getting pretty hard to do lately now that they have grown really big.

my amazon sword hides my heater, but then again it is a visi-therm stealth.

it is important to make sure that your heater is not obstructed when you look to hide it from view.

Mines a nice shiny, 12", titanium thing with 2 wires running out of the tank for it.

you all suggest laying trhe heaters at the bottom, or submersing them 100%

both of my heaters say dont let water get to a certain line, so i just have them at the very top.
