Questions about heater burns?
- Thread starter BigJ
- Start date
get some pvc and drill alot of holes in it and stick the heater in that, just make sure the powerhead from the fx5 is close to them
stealths dont get as hot as glass or metal heaters... i kept rays in my tank for years with stealths with no guards and never had one burn.... i kept the heaters hanging vertical in the middle of the tank.... if your 265 is reef ready stick them on the side of a overflow.... heater placement is key to keeping your rays from getting burned...
if your still worried check these out,

i have them on both of my 250w stealths (just because i had hagen(fluval) tronic heaters before and exchanged them for stealths, just slid the fluval heaters out and slid the stealths in) they work great and hold the heaters nice and tight
i think they were 7.99 CDN at my LFS

Ive got a 400 gallon pond and i used a 300 watt heater in it. I used pvc pipe and used a miter saw to cut slits in it and drilled holes in it. Then i zip tied it to the side of a stand i have in there to keep my pump up off the ground. Works reallly well good luck.
