I have our rack set up with the Sterilite tubs.. melamine housing.. all good. I am using the Zoomed pads on the rheostat dimmers, and all is dandy in the temperature aspect of things.. BUT I hate sliding the tubs in/out while the pad catches on the bottom shelf. It is creating a bunch of scratches in the melamine from the pad sliding, and it makes things very difficult when replacing tubs after cleaning or removing a snake.
Any advice on where to go with heating elements? I am hesitant to go w/ FW because, well, it is also an UTH and I am sure the same thing would happen.. also, I am leary about any under-tub heat really, afraid it could melt something while we aren't home, as it has no "outlet" for the heat and I would think the heat could build up in between it, the tub, and melamine.
So how about heat cable, or heated tiles? Anyone ever use these, and have any advice or experience to share? I was also considering getting FW and making it into a back-heat setup..
