I know a lot of you with sump systems put your equipment there for aesthetic reasons and one can see exactly how that is understood.
I have been out of the hobby for about 5 years now (other than dabbling in it here and there) but, I have been thinking of setting up a new tank, something like a 80g system.
After thinking about past tanks I have had some pretty nasty things happen over my 20 some odd years of being in the hobby. After playing with a bowl setup, small 1.5 gallon system last year, I noticed that my house in the winter at 68 sometimes 65-66 was cold. Even the little 5w heater couldnt do it and I had to give up on that tank. This had me thinking though, that if I were to be away and the return pump stop in the sump, this could be a really big problem in the display this winter. So, would it be feasible to put the heaters in the display vs the sump?
Just extra: I plan on running two titanium heaters on separate controllers.
