Heater in biocube 16 LED without removing the false floor

youpey · 06/18/2018, 06:07 AM

Is there an adequate heater in that fits in the first chamber of the biocube 16 LED without removing the false floor? I would like one that is strong enough to keep the tank warm without burning itself out, but that fits in the chamber

thank you

i did quite a bit of searching and according to this site, this should fit no problem (75w).

i emailed the manufacturer and they confirmed the dimensions of this site. i measured the filter pad and it is 8 inches long, not counting the handle, so this should just fit. i ordered it and it should arrive tomorrow, so i will post the results

this heater does in fact fit in the back with room to spare. i did not need to do any cutting either.

it is very expensive, but i like that i did not need to cut or modify the tank in anyway
