    Quick Question Re: Heaters

    Hey again,
    I just have a quick question this time. When using the Zoomed under the tank heaters, do you buy enough to cover the entire bottom of the tank or just half? Thanks!

    Just half the tank. You want half the tank to be about 10 degrees warmer than the other half.

    Just one side controlled by a thermostat is fine. If your ambient temps are low, then another heat pad on the cool end controlled by a tstat would be desired. If you have further questions, check out our caresheet first. It should answer almost all general husbandry questions.
