Ah I see. And with the helix you thouroughly tape the probe on the heat tape and push the little button on the unit itself until it is at 93. Then check the temp on the bottom of the tub and your set. Makes life very very easy lol.

you may need to set your thermostat higher than your desired temp to reach that in your tubs or on your heat tape.

I think i've got my thermostats set to about 96 sometimes (in the winter) now that the temps have stabalized as its gotten warmer its set to 93 i believe, the temps in the tubs are 92-90 on the hot side.

I've heard of some breeders having to set their thermostats to over 100 to get the desired temps in the tub, i think it has to do with how much heat tape you have.

I have 3 racks, animal platics economy plastic, a RBI and a hand made one (all bought second hand) and they are all great. The AP are almost indestructible, the RBI is super well made and the tubs slide great.
