    Re: Testing my flexwatt.. got some questions?

    sorry bout that, a cage it will be about 4ft long 18inches deep and 12 inches high. vents on the end. for the entry point it will be a flip down door.. I'm not a fan of the tub setups. Also I wired a 2nd flexwatt and plugged it in and the temp is reading 89, but the thing is i have the reostat set at the same spot as the last flex I wired. which was at 97F thanks for the info and help


    Cheers

    Re: Testing my flexwatt.. got some questions?

    So the hot side is set up to 97 and the cool to 89? Thats a bit too hot for the "cool" side if so. But either way, you have to measure the temps inside the cage when you are done and adjust the t-stats untill you reach your desire temps.

    Re: Testing my flexwatt.. got some questions?

    The flexwatt is not under the tanks yet.. I'm still workin on them and as I finish each one I'm testing it.. the first one I finished I used to set the reostat at 97F and then I hooked up a 2nd one I finish and it was only readin 89F and I left the reostat set to what the 1st one was.. Soldering is a pain in my arse, not sure if I messed up the flexwatt. Thanks for the help


    Cheers

    Re: Testing my flexwatt.. got some questions?

    Oh sorry I didnt understand that part. I got my pre-wired so I havent had that "experience" yet lol. But Im sure if you got one working already, you'll figure out the 2nd. They need to be of the same size for the temps to be the same I think, and ofcourse they dont need to be of the same size if you are gonna controll them at different temps. I dont know if that helps any.

    Anyways there are many people here that have wired their own, Im sure someone will help you out.
