    The easiest thing would be to put a dimmer switch on it (~$10 at home depot) until the heat tape arrives. Just keep checking the temp and adjusting the dimmer until it's where you want it.

    Are the heat sources the exact same or different?

    If you use one thermostat for multiple heating devices they need to be the same. Not just same brand but also the same size. Or just get another thermostat.
