    oic...well great then I know what to look foward to when I move all my guys into tubs soon. After I finally got everyone glass tanks perfect....sheesh.

    I personally dont think saying "&*^@!" is cursing...being that this isnt found in the dictionary....or something you can even pronounce...who knows.

    Nah, your temps will probably level out perfect. I think I'm only capable of screwing these things up.

    I don't see how it's cursing either -- pretty much like a censor on basic cable. ;)

    are you using two small UTH or a big one and a small one??? I would suggest getting a larger UTH or move it (the warm side) a little more to the middle. Do you have the tub on a carpet or hard floor (tile, wood etc?) hard floors are cooler than lets say a carpet, which could be causing some problems.

    Exactly, and being that on basic cable I have heard every word but the f-word...I think were doing pretty good with the %$^!!!.

    Oh trust me, I'm sure we will be right along with you freezing our snakes to death or boiling them alive lol. Trial and error my friend, I'm sure with some tinkering it will all work out. Now get to work GOD ^*&% IT!!! Although on t.v and radio they make you bleep the god but leave in the d-word, because I personally would be ticked if my child came up to me and said "god" but the d-word....thats what I like to hear from children lol.:carrot:

    I see what you mean about trouble maintaining the cool side temps. :eek:

    Ever thought about getting two thermostats? Dimmers are annoying because if your room temperature changes, so does the heat outputted from the mat. Thermostats are especially good if you're not around to monitor them, i.e., on vacation. You wouldn't want to come home and find out that it had been an extremely cold week at your house or something and your warm side's at 85 and cool side's at 70!

    I have just one 10gal. UTH and plan on buying a 5gal. for the cool side just to give it a boost. The tub is sitting on a wooden desk.

    :D Also seen Janet Jacksons breast on basic cable...

    Trial and error can be very frustrating. I guess I'll pick up a small UTH and another dimmer tomorrow and I bet it will work out pretty well....but thats only the trial part and I'm sure it will be followed with a damn error

    Damnit. ;)

    Yea, I haven't had my one dimmer very long and sort of figured out when the temp is going to change on it. Before I go to bed, I'll turn it up a tad because I know it's going to drop off in the night, and then later on close to afternoon I'll turn it down again because it's going to get warmer. Don't know what I'd do if I was to be away from home for a day or so...getting 2 thermos is the lingering possibility.

    Wouldn't be surprised if you seen Pam Anderson's breast on the Disney Channel. She doesn't seem to hide them much...not that I'm complaining. ;)
