the only way you will get different temps is if your strips are different lengths. if one strip is longer then the other it is pulling more watts and that throws the others off balance. to get max efficiency make sure all of your strips are the same length.

Also:
1. If they are different widths. 3", 4" and 11" all pull different wattage.
2. Heat rises. The higher tubs are likely warmer. I like to use risers or platforms to get my racks off the floor. Also, you can insulate under the bottom shelf to keep some of that heat in.

Re: flex-watt help
why are different parts of the tape itself different temps- like 1 peace would be one or 2 degrees different then another part of the heat tape? is this a big problem?
