So i got 2 via aqua titanium heaters for the 55 gal grow tank. Reading the instructions say to mount them vertically. Has any one using these mounted them horizontaly on the botom and had them work properly? Wanted to mount them like that to make WC eaiser, dont want to have to unplelug every time i do a wc. I know its lazy, an not a good habit to get in. Just looking for advice. I see people do this with jagers all the time. This is my first time with titanium heaters. I have the via aqua 200watt.

I have mostly all via aquas. They're all horizontal.

Had three Titaniums horizontal in a sump for 8 months without a problem.
Beware... if you turn the power off (or if you loose power) the heaters reset to 79 degrees. The heater may read your tank temp but it will fall to 79 unless you reset the heater.
