    flexwatt under cages?
    hi all,

    i am new to flexwatt and was wondering if it will work if i were to put it under my tanks? the tanks are 16mm melamine (see pic), will i get about 32 defrees celsius in the tanks?. i have these cages stacked on top of each other and also want to know,will i need to leave a few mm gap so the flexwatt can breath? or is it ok to wedge between the top and bottom of the cages without a gap?

    thanks in advance.

    also, should i use aluminium foil tape to reflect the heat up into the cages?

    Some people dont leave any air gap at all and I dont think it is needed but I would always rather be safe than sorry;)
