I just got a new morph and moved my one year old normal into a new 30 gallon reptology tank. Looks really nice, but functionally, not so sure. They even put a screen vent about 4" up on the front. I got it cheap at the silent auction in Daytona last week. Had to cut out plexiglass to cover top screens. I know humidity will be a problem to keep up.

Anyway I got another Zoo Med pad for 30 gallon size, have the 10 gallon size on the old tank. I never could get temp much above 80 in the 10 gallon (had to add ceramic heat from top), and now same crap in the new tank. I have about 1" of Aspen on the bottom of both.

I really dont want to have to add top heat on this tank. Does flexwatt get hotter than these stick on Zoo Med pads? If so, I'd switch both tanks over and not have to have the humidity issue with the ceramic element on top. House temp is about 75-77 with AC on. I know I should go with tubs, but trying to keep my wife happy.

Thanks
