Hey guys. I need your help with figuring out where to place my heater element in a Red Sea G2 Nano XL. I have the Nanomat and ATO with all the standard equipment. I bought a BRS 100w titanium element with an Inkbird WiFi controller. I just don’t know where to put the element in the back. I’m a complete aquarium noob so any advise is much appreciated.

Red Sea max nano owner as well (not a XL but close enough) I shoved the heated where the filter sock went in the back left corner of the tank. Worked fine for me!

I’m using the nano mat roller so I’m not sure there is enough room for both.

I have the G2 XL as well. With the NanoMat. Where did you end up placing your heater.
Maybe the slot for charcoal?
