First Time T8 Setup

How does the flexwatt do at heating the air in the tank? And how do you do a hot side and a cool side with flexwatt?

It doesn't. I keep my reptile room at 78*F and then provide belly heat with a UTH. Adding a hide over the UTH does bump the ambient under the hide by a degree or two, but a UTH doesn't affect the ambient temp in the enclosure much.

For a T8 I would get a UTH since they're only 12" high, that's what I use in mine. I use RHP's in my enclosures that are 15-24" tall.

I'm just going to keep it in my room and that usually stay in the mid to low 70s. Would RHP's be unnecessary for that?
