    ORRR, *giggle* you "could" get a Helix or a Herpstat I for the same amount of money and both having higher wattage... But that's just me. You would get more your money's worth buying one of the "tried and true" units, rather than that unit that is only rated for 300 watts. What if you get more snakes? :)

    The Herpstat I, just from what I've read, only controls one set temp and has a night drop. The Herpstat II controls two different set temps and has two separate night drops(pretty nifty). Herpstat I can control 500 watts while the Herpstat II can control 700 watts on each side, so it has a combined wattage of 1400 total that it can control. They are both proportional.

    Hope that helped explain some things :)

    so if i have one AP tank with the heating coil the HS1 would be the way to go right?

    but the HS2 would give me two seperate temps (e.g. 92 hot side /83 cool side)

    That's true, but do you have a second heating element to control? If you just have one heating device to control, I would think the Herpstat I would work just fine. If you're using a lamp too that is currently on a dimmer and you would like the temps to be even more consistent, then you can always go with the HS2. Control the heating coil with one side of the t-stat and control the lamp/CHE with the other side.

    i do have a lamp and its plugged into the same tstat as the coil. but since its a lamp it does stay at the same temp it just keeps the cool side in the 80s but i wanna get ride of it cause it kills the humidity.


    (ps. does anyone kno wif u can use a UTH on an AP T3? or will it melt the plastic?)
