Re: Heating question.
that would work but you would have to peel the flexwatt off to clean which might damage it and it could become a pain, which you would have to do with a UTH but i have never had any problems peeling off a UTH again and again.

Re: Heating question.
Why would i peel it off for cleaning? it will be underneath the tank. i can just leave it attached but unplugged.

it depends how u clean. i take my tubs and put them in the bathtub and let them soak for a lil bit so the germs are killed. but u dont want to fully submerge the UTH.

Re: Heating question.
With a 40 gal. tank its not as easy to just throw it in the tub to soak. I don't think it will be an issue. The tank does get a good cleaning and disinfecting about once every month or if it needs it sooner and of course spot cleans as needed.
