I have a 20 gal breeder tank with a UTH for the hot side on a dimmer to control heat. I have a couple questions concerning heat pads.
I know you use them with rubbermaids but do they work as well with tanks?
I have those small spacers on the bottom of my tank that come with the UTH to hold the tank up to let the air flow underneath. Do you sit the tank right down on the heat pad or do you use these spacers like with the UTH?
Also if the pad is a little larger than the area you want to cover do you just let in hang out pass the ends of the tank?
And last but not least with low med and high what setting do you put it on to hit the warm side 90's.
I have a new temp gun so I can check temps well.
I just feel a little scared with the UTH even tho I monitortemps and they stay right in the 88-93 range on the hot side.
Thanks for letting me ask all the questions
