That way it feels secure in both hides and can use both for thermo regulation.

mind you this is in a tank set up, tubs are entirely different. So I'd say if you can't spring for it right this second then just make it a priority for whenever you can, I used to use one top heat lamp and one uth on the same side and that kept my hot side perfect.

Ya that was my last set up. UTH with a bulb above on the hot side. Well I already have a tstat and a zoo med heat pad. I could throw that on one of the tanks and get some of that flexwatt.
