Hey everyone,

Just recently got a heater for my nanocube since I'm jumping into SPS fairly quick (temps haven't been a problem in the past with soft corals). So I bought a eheim jaeger heater and I'm somewhat confused as to how to place it. I know a lot of people put it in the third/last chamber but there doesn't seem to be enough water to reach the minimum water line on the heater because the slits in the chamber walls allow water to flow in freely. Has anyone figured out a way to somewhat block the slits? I was thinking plexiglass maybe to cover it, thus making the water fill up and go over the chamber wall rather than through. But then again, I want to avoid the standing water in the rear chambers.. Any advice would be much appreciated!!

Thanks
