    Lightbulb Ongoing Experiment: Unregulated ZooMed UTH, Heat yield and transfer

    I've made a blog for my new little experiment. Using this page in the link below, I will be recording all details of the project, including: photographs, a hypothesis, summaries, outcomes, and data.

    Feel free to criticize, suggest, ask a question, or try this experiment on your own.

    I did something similar for a shorter amount of time and the UTH ended up hitting 118.

    I did a similar experience with the small Exo-Terra UTH. After a few hours it was reading over 138 degrees.

    I still use that heat pad.. With a thermostat.

    It might be interesting to see what a ultratherm would do with a glass tank unregulated. They rarely get over 110º maxed out. I would still NEVER suggest the use of any under tank system with out a t-stat but it would be interesting to see how low it produces.

    Hey Aaron the advise was on a tub too boot... they heat faster and transfer more heat than glass tanks!
