Just as an FYI: Animal plastics ships their racks disassembled so you will have to build the rack and install the heat tape on your own

As for heating, it will run as one continuous piece unless you decide to cut it and run it on different levels. You can buy a herpstat 1 and be fine as long as you keep the heat tape in one continuous strand! When you get your thermostat, just put the probe on the middle shelf and then use a temp gun to check the temps in the other tubs. Flexwatt is generally good at keeping steady temps from one level to the next. I, personally, prefer the TGH heat tape from RBI because it does a better job of this...but Flexwatt doesn't have such a variance that it's dangerous.
