is it safe to put a 300w heater in my sump which is made out of 1/4 acrylic?

just curious, i maybe wrong but i remember somewhere that its not safe

It should be fine. The only thing I can think of that may be a problem is if suction cups holding the heater slips and it somehow touches the side of the acrylic. You might run the risk of melting the acrylic thus causing a flood. I, however, had my heater in a sump much like your and never ran into that problem. Just my $0.02.

I've got my 300w heater in my acrylic sump too.
Is it safe? So far.............
