Housing options/suggestions?

i've always wondered if UTH's would melt the plastic, i guess not. Seems like the tubs are the way to go.

they CAN, this is why they need to be regulated. There have been instances where flexwatt (man i can not spell that lol) has malfunctioned and burned holes in plastic tubs.

I don't think a zoomed UTH will melt a plastic tub. It might warm it or disfigure it in some way, but 120* will not melt it.

Either way, needs to be used with a thermostat.

I have been using a reptitemp 500r with one piece of flexwatt (single setup) going on 2 years now. I see about a 1-2* temperature fluctuation.
