    you may like the ranco thermostat the best. it is slightly simpler/easier to use.

    don't be sorry for asking questions. that's what we are here for! :)

Also what about the thermeters I have will they work good or no

    for a 10 gallon tank you can probably use a strip of the 3 inch flexwatt, for the 20 gallon you might need the 11 inch (i'm not sure the measurements of a 20 gallon tank). you should only need one strip per tank. call rich and explain to him that you want pre-wired flexwatt for each tank--he will be able to tell you which width you need for each tank.

    the accurite that you have is fine--i use the same thing. you only need one per enclosure. i put the unit on the cool side and the probe on the warm side.

    i personally use the helix: http://www.reptilebasics.com/store/p...cat=250&page=1. if you don't want to spend that much money, then i'd recommend the ranco: http://www.reptilebasics.com/store/p...cat=250&page=1.
