Sorry if there are any threads on this, couldn't find any :/


Long story short: Today I received my HydroFarm Thermostat (I will upgrade to a real thermostat when I get more snakes), and I was waiting to set Volvagia's Tank properly until I got all the stuff I needed.
Right now I have:
Zoo-med UTH
Hydrofarm Thermostat
Acurite Thermomether (the one with inside/outside temperatures and inside humidity, which I modded to have 3 external probes, instead of 1)
Pics:





My questions are:
1- Should I stick the UTH to the tank, or use the foil paper method?
2- What probe do I put between the UTH and the glass (thermostat or thermometer)? If I remember correctly, it was the thermostat probe, but it's kinda big and placing it between the pad and the glass will be a Royal Pain in the rear (Unless It can be stripped down?).
3- How do I set up the other probes correctly (they are all exposed; see pics) so that water or whatever won't do any damage to them? Can hot glue or silicon affect the sensors THAT much?

IDEAS are more than welcome!
