Heater in Sump?

[HaleMoana]

Can I put my heater in my sump? Will there be enough turnover to keep the Display Tank temp stable?

I'll be running a Mag 9 on a 90 gallon tank.

Yes, it is what most do that use sumps. Keeps the clutter out of the tank, the fish can't damage the heater, and works just as well since the pump is always pulling water from the sump. I just place the heater near the pump pickup.
