Thanks Kite.
See, you brought another perspective to the waterfall situation.
About the T-stat, I doubt I would get another Hydrofarm, (tho keeping one as backup seems like a great idea), I was mainly debating between a herpstat and a VE. Changing to the UTH topic, I'm a die hard tank fan, and since I only have 1 snake for now (well soon), and I don't plan on adding many more, so the tanks make for prettier displays and it's what I shall be using until/unless I have at least 5 snakes, sooo will the Ultratherm work for me if my room temp stays around the mid 80s (tropical weather), if not, I'ma guess that the Flexwatt is still a better choice than the Zoomed one?
