what would someone recomend for a 10 gallon tank for an under tank heat pad? brand wise? what all would i need for it to be effective? i use a heat lamp during the day and a 40 watt red bulb at nite. my temps usually run around 80 day and nite. however, i would like to make sure that it stays constant with the summer coming and all, the a/c will be used more and those heat lamps mite not be as effective. any suggestoins?

I use a human heating pad without auto shut off from Walmart and I have it hooked up to a thermostat so that it my warm side stays around 90 degrees. Make sure you put some space between the pad and the bottom of the tank. That should be okay for a 10 gallon tank, if the heating pad is too big, it can hang out the side or the back.

Gen-where did you get your thermostat from? What kind is it?

I got a Zoomed one from a pet shop. I was either going to get that or a rheostat, but the thermostat was only 5 bucks more. There are some other companies that make them too.
