I have the RHP on top of the screen lid and then cover pretty much all the rest of the screen with plastic wrap to hold humidity and a cloth on top of that to hold a little more heat. It's working great for both my BPs but of course everyone is different.

Its on top of the enclosure? I just watched a video on youtube and it looked like they installed inside the tank.

Yep. You can install it inside also if you want. It was easier and made more sense with my enclosure to leave it on top.

I have a 40 gal with a uth and che, my che keeps the (air) temperature the right temp as long as my room temperature is not under 69 degrees, i have the uth on the hot side as well which gets it to the right temperature as well i keep a towel on top of part of the screen lid which slightly helps with containing te heat hope this helped :)
