will the heater harm the fish if it was in the water? i have 3 pockets in my aquarium, 1 for the filter, one for the heater, and 1 i dont know why is it for, why is it for ? so the heater i puted it in the aquarium and i was kinda thinking of getting an extra heater for the heater pocket, like that in case 1 fail, i have a seconde one running, coz the one i currently have isent satisfying me enough, the water temp is 22.C or 23 Csometimes, 24 /25 isent better?
is it bad to put the heater in the water?

Also you have to relize how much space your heating if you have a 29 usg tank then your not going to what to put an additional heater into your tank it will probably overheat your water.
it is always a good idea to have a second heater - if your primarly fails. but if you have a smaller tank then you should only use one heater at a time if its big enough then its alright to use two heaters. also you have to look at what size the heaters are i had two 200 in my 125g and it was fine - I still use two but i have two tanks being filtered by one so it works out fine.

Ok, now here's a question for you on the lines of heaters. I have my turtle in a 10 gal aquarium right now with about 3 gal of water at the most. I bought a heater for 2-5 gal tanks cuz I didn't want to scauld the little fellow, but it doesn't do too much. I have to leave the light on all the time to keep the temp. at the recommended 75. [I am getting or building a bigger tank for him (haven't decided yet) and will need a bigger/better heater.] Should I maybe get another one and put on the other side of the tank to uniformly heat it or keep with my current set up until the his big tank is ready? any ideas?
I would say to get a 150 or a 200 for you bigger tank just make sure that you get a themometer. for the most part heaters will shut off themselfs and the are realiable. so just buy 150 from our LFS and set it where you want.
because if the little heater isnt doing much then your going to want to change anyway ( I think ). anyway you can use is for the little tank for now and it will surve as a nice upgrade.
