Does my UTH need a thermostat? What about Thermometers?

[distaff]

I ordered one from Amazon that is supposed to arrive today. It was $10 or $13 with a probe and extra battery (I hope the extra battery will fit and fix the more expensive VE thermometer which hasn't ever worked properly). These aren't that hard to find. Aquaponics suppliers also sell various models.

Walmart does not carry them, Lowes/Home depot are online only.

Hi Serpent Merchant and everybody else. Thank you for this awesome thread and all of the info on it!

I was going to go for an AP T8 but the wait times are really long and someone is going to donate a 20 Gallon Long to me. (Serpent Merchant) mentioned that RHP's so not work well with glass tanks.

Are you just referring to challenge of mounting them or do they actually not function well? I was going to use one in the glass tank that is going to be donated to me since I figured it would be a safer more reliable heat source (my room can get cold) and it would impact the humidity less than a CHE or heat bulb.

The thread is 4 years old and the OP's last post was on 02-13-2015, you might be better off creating your own thread to get answers to your question.
