To use a heat lamp, you need to find a way to hang the lamp maybe 16" off the top of the tub.

What size UTH are you using and what size tub? I apologize if you've already stated the answers to these.
Thanks! For Mona (the one I'm working on right now), I am using a 41 quart Sterilite tub with locking lid, and a 10-20 gallon ZooMed UTH. With her glass (20gal) tank, I also used a ceramic heat emitter laid on the screen.

So, how the heck will I mount the light? Hmmmmmm.....
