Hi Forum,
I am looking at setting up a new tank, Eheim Viva line 126. And I want it to be really clean looking, so no CO2 or heating elements in sight. But I also want efficiency and this has me thinking.
I am looking at two filters , the Oase 250 thermo and the eheim 4+ 250t, both have inbuilt heaters in the canister. My question is: would a heater that is in a canister be on for longer (use more electricty) than one in the main water body (in tank). My thinking is that the water coming into the filter will be cooler and trigger the heater more. Or is it the other way where the water will pass the heater more rapidly and therefor transfer more heat quicker.
or do you think the difference between a traditional heater in the tank and an internal heater would be nothing?
