Sterilite plastic tubs/containers?

Alright thanks! I think I'll have to go with the flexwatt but I will need help figuring out how to wire it together

i saw that these cords you can order serperately..
is this cheaper if I go to a hardware store? or order online?
And how do you attach the wire and then keep the flexwatt on the bottom on the tank, is it sticky on one side?

sorry for so many question, I just want to get this right and do it well.

If anyone has a picture of the bottom of their tank, that would be great :D
Thanks!!

cords cost nothing, like 2-3 bucks, if they cost more online, then go to the store.

but you need to solder it onto the flexwatt, if you don't know how to solder, you can your order your flexwatt from helix, they can solder it for you, since they refuse to use those clips, http://www.helixcontrols.com/FlexWatts.htm, those clips they sell with the flexwatt are crap imo also, its not even a proper crimp.

most people tape the flexwatt down with some sort of foil tape, I always use duct tape and don't understand why people use foil tape lol.

lighter + screw driver, or any sort of heat + metal pointy object.

or a drill, that what I do... way faster.
