The water near my heater is not significantly warmer than an area 20" away. No heater I have gets that hot. Perhaps that's the case of a very high wattage heater in a small tank, i.e. a 200 watt in a 20, but I don't believe this is typical. The original poster has a 1 gallon and a 10 gallon. I could see the 1 gallon really being effected by a couple of ice cubes in a baggy, due to the tiny water volume.
