Re: The big debate!! v2.0
at the other fourm im on they are using a life too what ever that is..
Re: The big debate!! v2.0
with a herp stat, can you use in on 2 tanks and a rack together????
Re: The big debate!! v2.0
I have a question for Herpstat pro users.
I see where you can plug in 4 different heat sources, have 4 probes to set up temps on.
So you can hook say 4 different racks into one ?
My rack is 4 tubs high. But the flex for all 4 tubs is wired together w/ just one plug so using a Herperstat pro on that would kinda be a waste until I added say more racks , correct. I wouldn't need the other three outputs.
Is this how some of you users have them set up ?

same thing i was wanting to know if so may be worth it... i got 2 tanks and 1 rack
my rack is 5 tubs, each one with flex, and a 3 ft piece of back flex on wall, each individually plugged into a 6 plug outlet... all the same temp...

Lets do some quick math :)
The next t-stat I would use after Herpstat would be Helix...Lets take the cost of the 4-in-1 Herpstat Pro vs the cost of Helix and see how it compares:
Helix DBS1000 Proportional Thermostat: $134.99
134.99 x 4 = 539.96
That doesn't even include the night drop feature (which is built into Herpstat Pro)
so, add the Helix Night Drop Time Cord at 24.99 x 4 = an additional~100 bucks for a grand total of about 640.00 before shipping costs.
IMO...Herpstat Pro is an excellent and cost effective route to go... assuming you have 4 units that need to be controlled.

Herpstat Pro manual says each output should not exceed 400 watts. I believe that as long as you say under 400 watts then you should be OK
Re: The big debate!! v2.0
Man, how do some of you huge breeders out there afford to control all those tubs? good grief, I remember in the thread of post the setups you have someone posting a pic that had almost like 40 tubs and crap, thats insane alone, then ontop of it to control the temps for those! Dear Lord!
