you should use heat tape, and it should be one continuous strip to be controlled by 1 thermostat.


Do you have some pictures or something? i'm having a hard time seeing how you'd use one strip for three tubs??? Thanks for all your help! Is PVC similar price to melamine? i still have some melamine left over from the 6 foot tank i made for my retic.
