I'm in the process of building a custom 20 long sump and I'm at an impasse. I need help deciding on a mounting option for my heaters, 2 eheim jagers.

Option 1 side by side right before return section using provided suction cup mounts

Option 2: acrylic holder mounted right after skimmer chamber

Acrylic mounts was just a quick prototype made from scrap

Either option would work well but I like your acrylic option over the "dreaded suction cups"
