How to Setup a Glass Tank (20 long) With Pictures!

[The Serpent Merchant]

Looks great!!! I actually had to rip apart cheddars tank tonight because his hot side was reading too hot. Moved the probe further into the center of the mat... nice force clean at 9:00 pm. <damn snake' I was relaxing one minute, Up and running the next.>

One question.... You placed the thermostat probe right up the center <clear part> of the heat mat as apposed to on the tinted/black part... Why?

p.s. the upside-down pics made me giggle.

I center the probe because it makes it easier to tape down the UTH, and the entire UTH heats up enough that it shouldn't make any real difference.
