    Default Heater Placement in Sump?

    My sump is 3 chambers. Only place it will fit properly is in the fuge area. Is this ok?

    Should be fine. So long as there is decent flow through that section.

    If that is the only place it fits, so be it. Mine fits between baffles just before the return chamber, I got really lucky.

    No that's not a big swing at all. If it was more then 5 degrees I would worry a bit.
