they say they can install all the wire and clipsets for me does that mean. I can order the amount i need tell them how many feet per shelf and they will cut and wire all them together so its runnning from one cord? Which I would plug into my thermostat.

no each one will have its own cord (which you will have to buy) and then plug them all into a power strip and plug the power strip into the thermostat.

(they can't connect strips together)

one more question. Is there any way to wire each shelve of flexwatt together and buy one wire/clip set and then just plug that one into the thermostat to run all the levels of the rack? Or do i have to have an individual plug for each level?

You can use a single really long piece of flexwatt and snake it through the rack

You can wire the flexwatt so that there are clips on one strip then the rest of the strips are connected together with soldered wires (requires knowledge of soldering)

You can wire them all individually and use a power strip.

Not true. I ordered tape from them for 5 shelves once, and I had 5 individual strips with clips, all connected to one cable that I plugged directly into the thermostat.

interesting since their website doesn't say that they will do this.

Was it set up in a chain?

You can daisy-chain the strips, if you'd like. It's pretty easy, though I dunno if ReptileBasics will do that for you. I just wire mine myself. It makes me feel like an electrical engineer. :P

I prefer to solder all my flexwatt but I do buy all my supplies from RBI Rich is the man :)

You have to write in the comment box of how you want your heat tape set up. Its easiest to email rich from rbi and tell him what you plan on doing and size of tape you want. He will tell you exactly what you need to order. I just got my heat tape in from him last week. Its all set up the way i wanted and correct lenghts

i order my tape from reptile basics and they ship really fast im in the same state now but even when we lived in MI it took about 3 to 4 days to get my stuff.

Reptile Basics.
Gets from NC to me in CT in 2 days. Fastest shipping times ever and best customer service on the planet! :gj:

I will vote RBI as well:gj::gj:

Another vote for Reptile Basics.....:)

Basically RBI is awesome.

good job RBI.

If you want your flexwatt cut and wired by reptile basics I would suggest calling to place the order. I have placed two orders for it leaving instructions of how long and how many pieces I wanted, and both times received a roll of flexwatt and a bag of clips. It was easy enough to wire myself but for someone without the proper tools and skill, it may be outside their capabilities.
