    thermostat/lighting questions

    Hey, I'm new to the forum but tomorrow I'm receiving 2 lemon blasts. I have two separate aquariums and they both have zoomed heating pads, two hides, and a water bowl. I'm also picking up more fillers since they're young and I don't want them to get too stressed.

    Anyway, theyre also getting the day/night double deep some lighting and with their heating mats I was wondering what thermostat to get?
    Are there any that can have that many plugs-ins(or close to it) and would it still allow for a day/night cycle?
    Thanks!

    As long as the two mats are IDENTICAL you can plug them into a power strip and plug the power strip into any thermostat.
    You want to make sure the max draw of the mats is not more than the max output of the thermostat.
    Also a no contact thermometer will help to make sure both mats are running the same or close to each other.
