Are you regulating the heat tape with a thermostat? Is this heat tape providing back or belly heat? If it's back heat, 90 degrees on the tape is probably not going to give you 87-89 in the tub. What do you use to measure temps in the tubs?
yes i do i have a hemostat ..the tubs are on belly heat and sit on the heat tape
i just look at the thermometer that is on the heat tape and it says 90 ..so the tubs should be around 87-89 right
