    I would say yes. I hope it isn't 100* in your tank. :\

    I'd suggest a tub. Best way to keep a good temp and buying bulbs every few weeks adds up. You're better off with a t-stat and a UTH.

    Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off
    Then you Stand

    what thermometers you using? I had a bulb that said it was 120 degrees in the tank and then put a 50w red bulb in and it said 100 degrees, but that was with the stick on stats, now i have some digi ones and its only 80 degrees...
