that I understand, the stand the tank is on now is made of steel and has a hollow top for air to get to the UTH i have on it

I was working on a wooden rest for the tub as well...


what would you suggest setting the rheostat/dimmer to, to keep the hot side from overheating and warping the plastic/melting it...

if the hot side hsould be 90 then setting it to 85-90F should be right, right?
