accurite gone for a swim

its the reptile basics rack. 4-32qt sweaterbox rack. I love it. I have it running on the helix dbs 1000 with the dividers in the tubs. It was a great investment i'll have to add. And rich at rbi is a great guy. I'm going to be getting another rack from him I think this spring.

so the helix controls six plugs?

what do you mean six plugs. It has 3" flex-watt with the belly heat option.

yeah but you can buy the helix buy itself right? so how do you connect your heat source to the helix hahah sorry

the helix has a outlet for your heat source to plug into it. and theres only one plug coming from the flex-watt which you plug into the helix. and the helix has a seperate plug to plug into the wall. does that answer it for you?

yeah totally. cuase ive seen things just like the helix that have a six strip connected to them so you can control more than one plug.

so all the flexwatt in that rack is wired together?

Ya how rich put the flex-watt in the rack is acutally pretty smart. it's kind of hard to explain but it is first recessed so the tubs do not hit it when you take in and out and its one piece of flex-watt that does an S throughout the whole rack. so it goes on the belly and then up the wall to the next level and on the next floor then to the other wall up to the next level. i hope that made some sort of sense to you lol. and the helix itself has three outlets for three seperate heat sources.

and the three sepereat ouets actually control other heat sources that you plug into it correct?

That's how we attach Acu-Rites....heavy duty velcro. Just keep a check on it to make sure it doesn't start to eventually detach from the humidity of the tank. Oh and make sure you pull it out if you are a live feeder. Lost a few probe cords before I figured that one out LOL. I have a lot of Acu-Rites on walls to pick up ambient room temps since they are now the "accidentally cordless" models. :rolleyes:

ya exactly.
