Hello all, love the site! Now for the question...

Has anyone thought about modifying a DIY canister filter by adding a heater? I have always wondered why a filters never utilizes a heater within the canister. Maybe someone out there can give me a heads up.

Just so you know, I am very new to the planted aquarium scene. I usually stick to the huge reef tanks with wet/dry filters. So please dont bash me to much! :icon_redf

I see. So it is perfectly acceptable to design a DIY canister filter with a heater within the canister? Keep in mind that this is for a 5.5 gallon nature aquarium. I am designing everthing myself (lighting, tank, filter,co2 etc).

Thanks again.
