    Rack heating Q??
    I am having two mini racks made, one that holds three 15q tubs and another for three 32q tubs. My question is what should i use for flexwatt(size and length)for the 15q and the 32q tubs and do i need two thermostats, one for each rack.

    I use 3" flexwatt that runs the width of the rack shelf as belly heat. Depending on the thermostat you buy and the amount of Flexwatt you use you might need more than one thermostat.

    I use the helix dbs1000 they can handle 500 watts or 50 linear feet of 3" flexwatt
    Less expensive models might not be able to handle as much.

    I use 4 inch flex watt for racks holding both those sizes you mentioned, but separate T-stats due to size difference in tubs.
