I need to know all about FW, from the ground up. We have been using the UTHs with the rheostats (forgot the brand name, think Zoomed?) They have been working fine, honestly; the temps stay right-on where they need to be and never spiked or anything. But it seems about time to upgrade; we have had these for the entire time we've been keeping the snakes (few years) and it just seems like they're old and need to be replaced..
My boyfriend is great at wiring things, so that's a help My question is, what-all do I need (I know some type of T-stat..) It will be about a month til I have the $$ up for it all, but I want to start now.
I plan on using the FW on our current tanks until we build our display-type shelf cages; then they'll have glass bottoms and I want to transfer the FW to that. We might even have these cages built before we get the FW.. nto sure yet. Can you use that silvery pipe tape to adhere the FW to the glass? The heaters I have now were equipped w/sticky stuff, I know FW isn't.
Any advice or links/tutorials would be great! Thanks.
