Do the same for the other side tapes and your running both tubs off the same two stats. That's how you would do it in a rack so it would be the same for just two tubs. If the flexwatt is different then you'd have to either get more stats or switch the tape so they are the same

Luckily all of the tape I have is flexwatt brand from Big Apple herp. It's also all the exact same length. Also you're a genius. I had no idea I could plug the flexwatt into a strip and then the strip into the thermostat. That makes absolutely perfect sense. And I am reading you correctly, yes? By plugging the flex into the strip and then strip into thermostat it should operate all flexwatt on that hot side? So in theory I could use two plug strips and designate one as the hot strip and one as the cool strip?
