how to hide a heater w/o a sump?

[ziggaboo]

trying to figure this one out, thought you guys could give me a hand. i was thinking i could put it inside a filter fuge, but im not sure how the plastic and heat would go together. the submersible heater i have is about 8" long... i am thinking about making one of those aquaclear fuge mods (or similar), which i am thinking would be my best bet as far as concealing it. anyone do anything similar? any advice would be great!

yeah, make sure the aquaclear is large enough for the heater to fit and if it is...presto, concealment!

If you're looking to hide one in a HOB or something, I got this little tetratec heater... yeah... tetratec's usually suck, but this guy worked like a charm. I don't remember where I got it, but I'm sure if you wanted one a LFS can order one in for you. I just shoved it into a HOB that I was using on a 3gal and never had any problems with it.

Yeah, they make way smaller heaters than 8".
