    how to run thermo wires in a rack?

    Just got my rack today, and I'm having a hard time setting up the tubs. I can't run the wire outside around the top of the tubs like I was before, and there's way too much to just leave inside... what do you guys suggest?

    Can you drill a small hole behind the tub and run out the back?

    its for the acurite, I see, I thougt you were talking about flex watt wiring, sorry

    I usually just wrap up the excess wires and use a wire tie and place beside the tub in the rack.

    It's a reptile basics rack, 4 tub Iris sweaterbox rack.

    I would normally do exactly what you described, but the gap between the tub and next shelf up is so tight I can't even get the wire out!

    I'll probably do as suggested and wrap it around the stand, or make an additional hole for it.

    Re: how to run thermo wires in a rack?

    Has anyone considered cutting and splicing the wires for the probe to make it shorter?
