    Thinking about a new thermstat

    All right as the title says im thinking about a new thermostat. I currently have a ranco and im not too sure i like it. I have different temps in each tub which i know is kind of common. However my biggest issue is i have it set to 106 and some of the tubs are barely at 90 on the hot sides. Im thinking about getting a proportional and was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on good ones. Thanks for your time

    The only proportional thermostat I use is Herpstat and I love it. I've also heard great things with Helix and the VE (reptilebasics.com) models.

    Herpstats are by far the best, I have a few herpstat 4's now and they all are great.

    I have a VE200 and it works great. I think any quality proportional will serve you well.

    every product made by Spyder Robotics (the guys who make Herpstats) are great, defiantly the best choice.
