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

[Zincubus]

Hi there, first off thanks so much for making these instructions! They helped me out a lot.

One thing I have noticed is that due to the lamp placement, the middle of the tank tends to get warmer (surface temperature). I then also have a random hotspot next to the lamp where the heating pad starts. It then gets cooler as I go away from the lamp (even on the hot side). Is this okay?

That's something that crossed my mind ...

Wouldn't it be better to have the lamp placed above the heat mat ?

That way you'd be able to set things up so you have the correct warm temps at that end and the heat from the lamp would disperse along to the other end providing a decent heat gradient ??

Any experts out there ??
