I have a sickness! I'm a severe back-up fanatic. I have back-ups of my back-up of my back-up. God forbid if someone is selling a piece of equipment I own....I need to have it as a back-up to my back-up.

So I have a few heaters....who doesn't? The smaller ones, say 100W and less, easily fit into a box

But the big ones, what do you do with them? I'm convinced George Lucas has a large fish tank and uses Eheim Heaters. The reason is that he got the idea of light sabers from 300W Eheim Heaters.....those suckers are long. I'm sure out of water they glow red. The only thing missing is that Ffffkrrrrshhzzzwooooom..woom..woooom, noise they make when you swing them back and forth. :eek:

Anyway, this is the easiest DIY ever. All you need is a sickness, and a box of 7/8 inch screw hooks, and a place to hang them. I spaced them 3 3/4 inches apart and hid them behind the light and television. I bet my wife doesn't even notice them there! :rolleyes:

I'll be finding another spot for them tomorrow. :D
 
I just picked up some finnex titanium heaters and these are much more compact than my eheim jager heaters. The 300 watt finnex is the same size as a 100 watt eheim jager.

I decided to change after noticing condensation inside the eheim jager heaters.
