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

[SimonPalmieri]

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 ??

This was exactly what I was thinking too but then the problem you run into is that your cold side gets too cold (at least for me). So I've left mine in the center and just made sure that the "hot spot" doesn't get too hot.

It seems to work pretty well otherwise.
