Hello.

I have built a 3 section, acrylic tank. The acrylic is 6mm (1/4") thick.

The tanks dimensions are 72" x 22" deep x 18" high.

I installed a strip of 4" flexwatt along the bottom 70" long.

The flexwatt was set to 92 degrees all night... I came in this morning to check on the snakes.... the tank is 78!!!!

I want to put the sensor in the tank, but this may mean that the flexwatt needs to heat higher, maybe 100 degrees. I know that the acrylic can take it, but can the flexwatt?

I have read that it shouldn't exceed 95. however, as a test i heated it to 103 for an hour and it was fine....


please help!!
