    There are several ways..........................
    heat the room to 80 and heat pads on the hot side.
    two heat sources and two thermostats.
    or a rack with hot side heat............. if its a close sided rack you might get lucky enought to have your cool side about right.

    Yes they are. The dual set up 2 uths and 2 t-stats works very well with tubs it adds to the cost the other issue with a dual system is if you are using a dual probe t-stat and it fails there is absolutely NO escape for the snake so I would really suggest a failsafe t-stat as well.
