Flex watt tape vs UTH? Which is better?

[kasmir]

I think the whole point of using flexwatt is because it saves you money while being more reliable that most UTH. The savings part is especially true when you have a lot of tubs to heat

I use a herpstat ND and am VERY happy with it. You should get a thermostat BEFORE using any heat source. Most of them will allow you to hook up mulitple heat source when purchased.

I don't know what a 100 watt CHE is. But just stick with "Flexwatt" heat tape. It's a proven product.

Thanks! A CHE is a ceramic heat emitter, which I've heard good things about. It allows a heat source without sucking out humidity. I just bought it to try to raise the ambient temp. He's been hanging out on top of his hide right under the CHE since I started using it so I'm guessing he enjoys the back heat.
