divy Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 i have a 5.5 litre tank that i am going to plant and maybe put a betta in there but i dont really want to put a heater in the tank because a 25w heater is allmost the size length of the tank and it looks ugly so i was thinking of getting this tom's rapid 200lp/h exturnal filter and drilling a hole in the top and putting a heater inside and siliconing around the rest of the heater that pops out the top or maybe putting in my hydor mini 7w heater in there, but i would prefure the 25w one because they have a temp control here is a rough pic of what i mean so what do you all think? will it work can you see anything wrong with this idea? the only thing im worried about is the heater might melt the filter case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghengis Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Could be a plan...Or you could try to build an Inline Heater. Might make a nice weekend project... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I dunno.... silicone doesn't stick to plastic all that well. It's sorta ok but sometimes springs a leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
