We just got all of our new racks and I'm wondering something. We have a bunch of Herpstat/Herpstat Intros. The wattage for all 4 of our CB70 tubs has been calculated at a maximum of 480 watts. However the Herpstat Intro only allows for 350 watts.

Would it be okay to plug all 480 watts into the Herpstat, because when I monitor my other racks, it seems the heat tape is only running at about 25-30% of it's power. Does that mean it's only using 25-30% of the wattage, and I should be able to get away with plugging everything in? Even if the heat tape was running at say, 75% (unlikely) it would be 360 watts, so just over and above what the Herpstat Intro can handle.

It seems like we're going to need a million thermostats if we cannot exceed the wattage. Please advise, I'd like to get everything up and running as soon as we can.
