    Back when I used glass tanks only used those bulbs for heat. I live in florida and humidity wasn't an issue. So no you will not need a UTH with that bulb.

    If you do use a UTH you will also need to get a thermostat, here are 2 options

    for $30 you can get this, it will do its job but there are better

    These cost more but are much more accurate (these are what I use)

    The only thing missing from that picture is the thermometer... any tanks needs a good thermometer like the one I posted about in my first post.
