the clean look of this guy's setup is what sold me, but I could not make this system work without keeping the fish room at an uncomfortable temp

You can always put it on steroids with K1 media. This works so well and you get a heck of a lot of Bio.

Hi Leo. I have 2 heaters in the tank 1 of them is behind the foam. Yes there is a canister filter on the tank too. The foam is a pre filter for the canister filter at the same time as it filters as a HMF(hamburg mattenfilter). The whole purpose of this type of filter is to filter a larger bacteria surface area compared to traditional foam/sponge filter. Not just to hide the heater.
I am trying to finish the new room/hatchery and I built a 200g sump that will house a massive one located within a central system and cartridge filter.....I did alot of research and it provides an unmatched bio load...check out swiss tropicals for all types of technical info...it will answer all types of questions...
regards
eric

Put the heater behind the foam and crank up the air flow.
when the current is too strong, how about installing an elbow and pointing it up a bit so it kinda shoots up? extra aeration?
