Sorry for being a pain, but i have also noticed in the photos that alot of people but their heaters on an angle. Is this for aesthetics, or is their a purpose?

Cheers

This is actually for a good purpose with standard glass type heaters.
As the thermostate is located in the top part of the heater the heater is best place on an angle or horizintal as heat rises from the element and does not give conflict readings with the themostate and the heater turn off too early, and has not heated the whole tank properly

I hope this makes sense!
