Under Tank Heating

[CORBIN911]

I have to disagree with you here. Personally, I really like the Hydrofarm ones. They are great if you cannot afford the big fancy ones; they do a fine job. I have two, and have never had an issue with them whatsoever. That doesn't mean it can't happen, but it could happen with any kind of electrical equipment we buy. That, unfortunately, is a risk we take.

The reason they can be off in degrees is because they turn off/on to adjust for temperature, rather than being on all the time. For me, 2 or 3 degrees Fahrenheit is not a big deal; I don't think it would be a big issue for my pets either. It is not as if it is swinging from 80F-90F when set for 85F; it's more like 83.5F-86.5F.

However, if you have the money, then yes, I'd go for thermostats specifically designed for reptiles. But, Hydrofarm do in a pinch

That is fine, I only recommend something id stand by and I'm sorry for that, But Don't we all put our names/word on something we'd trust. Specially if from the US, the herpstats are MUCH cheaper, here for a basic its 180$+ vs 100$? In the US,

And the fluctuation inst what im talking about (yes i know its not proportional) but they are Accurate to 2 degrees (this is what i meant as I used the repti rs500 or w.e it is called about 1.5 years ago and it was even off by 1.5+/- Which yes isnt awful but again, You get what you paid for) and the herpstat/Ve-100 were made for reptiles and are meant to be accurate and precises...Aswell there saftey is a little off as they control from 68-95, But only turn on if reaching above 110.
