I’m going to add a UTH under the warm side for the basking temp and I think it should be ok. I think the fact that it’s made of pvc and the tubs fit so snuggly helps keep the temps up.

    I would try to bring the hot side up to 88-90 deg. personally. Good luck with what ever you try to do.

    Yea that’s why I’m adding a UTH for that side. Ambient is good now I just need the basking spot.

    Also can you use a zoomed UTH with this setup (on a thermostat of course) or is flexwatt tape safer?

    Move the heat tape from the back wall under the tubs. Kills two birds with one stone. Raises ambient and provides a hotspot too.

    Will pulling all the tape off of the flexwatt damage it at all?

    No it should be fine. I’ve removed tape from mine several times.
