Flex watt issues

top vents are not very efficient. The way air flow works the top will not provide very good ventilation until you get 7 times the side height into the tub (if the side is 6 inches it is 42 inches) when it stabilizes and works well. I would suggest drilling holes about one inch down this oddly will increase the ventilation quite a lot.

The tubs are 41qts. I built the rack following these plans http://www.americanmadeexotics.com/41-quart-rack.html
I went with one long flexwatt like I did so that I would only have to worry about one power cord going into one thermostat. I wasn't sure it would be wise to run multiple cords into one thermostat.

Gene,
THANKS for info on container size. Also, I wish my special order Melamine wasn't @ the mill being cut to my specified sizes today. I'd mirror image your design in a heartbeat. THANKS for sharing the source of the design. It would have saved me a lot of graph paper and thought processing if I had seen it a week ago ( HA!).
