    Re: Best Alternative to UTH?

    UTH's do not affect the ambient temp in a tank. They only provide spot heat. You're asking about apples and giving us oranges to choose from for an answer.

    What I'm saying is suppose you don't have, can't get, or for whatever reason are not allowed a UTH of any variety. I dunno, an apartment management company says no to UTH's and all like styles of heating because they think they pose a fire risk.

    BUT you still want a BP and so you need a heat source, but you don't want to kill the humidity because you don't want to have to mist every day. Nevermind about alternative caging styles. I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible.

    What's the alternative? Or is there none?

    I don't care if UTHs heat ambient air or not. I want to know what is a good heat source to provide that doesn't kill humidty that isn't a UTH....
