Hello everyone , i have an important question, i just purchased an aquatop recife eco 40 gallon AIO tank , where exactly do i place the heater?
 
@kingranch2003 has this tank. Tagging him in!

In the display you would just hide as good as you can but keep it accessible.

In the AIO chambers I usually try for the second or third chamber.
 
If you don't want to run the skimmer (I dont) the 2nd chamber is perfect due to the high flow. It would also work in the 3rd chamber vertically or horizontally, but may be hard to access if you add any filtration media or rock to this chamber.

Feel free at anytime to ask any questions about the tank. DM me if you want. Ill be glad to help you!
 
Yes agreed. And when you if you had a temperature controller every, always place it “upstream” or in the display from the heater FYI.
