Vivarium Thermostats?

[DakotaB]

Does anyone use the vivarium thermostats on there racks? Looking at getting the VE-200. Will this work with 3 rows of 4 foot (4 inch) Flexwatt?

I've heard good thongs about them. I would personally go with the ve-300 just to be safe. That's what I'm getting.

How many watts of flex wat are you hooking up to it? With less than 150 watts being hooked to it wouldnt the VE-200 be more than enough?

Oh i didnt realize the VE-300 had the night drop built in. But they are all Rated for 700 watts.

The 300 does have a backup power and low and high temp alarm. So i guess thats worth the extra 20 bucks.

Hmm I am actually also considering purchasing a v-200 maybe the 300, but I like having to turn down my thermostat it makes me check on it everyday!

I'm thinking about not only using it for my adult breeder racks but also the incubator!

yeah went with the ve-300. I saw them at dayton but blew my money before seeing it. haha

Got it in yesterday and its doing alright. I have it set on my rack and im just going to add another line to it and put the probe inside my incubator when the time comes.

Been using the VE-200 on my hatching rack for a couple weeks now. I really like it. Seems like a solid thermostat with a great interface.
