Hi, Don't want to sound demanding but could you answer a few questions about my new heater?? I'd really appreciate any help!

it's the fluval tronic electronic aquarium heater, 100 watt, is this a good model for a 85 litre/ 22 us gallon tank??

Whats the best place to put it in the tank?

Finally is there any danger it will...'burn' the fish I'm getting??

Thankyou, very much

I'm not familiar with that heater, but I like to put a heater towards the center of the tank. With all heaters there is a slight risk of fish getting burned on them, but it's a relatively rare thing. I believe some places sell a sort of 'heater guard' that can be placed over a heater to keep fish from contacting it.

I use the Stealth heaters in my tanks.
One of my frogs loves to sit on it, I was worried the first time I saw him do it, shooed him away, but he was fine. I often find him perched on it.
I don't know about your type heater tho.

I like to place heaters in the center back of the tank, horizontally on the back wall.

yeah I guess thats the best 'non-visable' spot for it
