How to set up an UTH with styrofoam (with pictures) for a glass tank.

Is there no danger with the styrofoam sitting directly on the UTH? Can't catch fire from the heat?

Well it’s regulated to only get 90* so I’d say no it can’t do anything to it

It's 'pretty safe' but thermostats have been known to fail. Just saying. I'm not sure how flammable styro-foam is, but under MY tanks with UTH, I use ceramic tiles:
they serve as a heat sink (between the UTH and my wood furniture that the tanks sit on), they aren't flammable, and help hold the heat & direct it upwards into the
cage. More than one way to set these things up.

Nope, no danger. It never gets hot enough.
