Does my UTH need a thermostat? What about Thermometers?

[The Serpent Merchant]

Everything looks good except you made no mention of heat rope which is used in Animal Plastics and Vision racks. Works great and worth mentioning. I use both flexxwatt and heat rope.

I don't have enough experience with heat rope to feel comfortable mentioning it. If you or anyone else wants to add heat rope be my guest.

As far as I know heat rope and flexwatt have very similar pros/cons both need a thermostat. What I'm not sure about is if heat rope increases air temps or not. I just didn't want to put up bad information about something this important.
