    UTH not sticking

    So, i installed the probe for VE-200 between the glass tank bottom and my UTH... Now I have a gap around the probe.... Will aluminum tape work to help seal the uth? And will the heat still get up through the tank bottom to the substrate?

    Yes you can use aluminium tape and your heat will go through the tank and substrate. You should have no problems.
