    Re: Recommendations for single tub setup?

    One last thing to consider is the ambient temperature of the room. For a single tub setup, gig want your room to be at least 75, otherwise you will not be able to keep the cool side warm enough.

    Best of luck!
    Good point!
    Which is why I mention a single tub rack, it can be enclosed for better heat.

    I like ultratherms for some things, but since it has to run almost full blast to get the desired temp(90+ hot spot).
    And the ungodly price for it versus a piece of flexwatt, I would never use one under a tub in a rack, but that's just me, I hate wasting money for no reason.
