I am in the process of switching from a glass tank to plastic bins. I have one BP and am getting a new baby girl in a few weeks.

I see here that its suggested to get a thermoregulator to plus your stuff into. I get that part, but I'm a little stumped on the flex watt tape. I've searched the site and cant find my question answered.

if you use flex watt, do you put it directly on the bin or does it need to go on a shelf under the bin or what?

I'm a little flustered trying to get this plastic bin thing figured out. my glass tank set up is perfect, but I cant afford a whole new set up in glass for my new baby, and I've heard LOTS of people love using plastic.

I bought my bins today...I would send a photo but my oldest took my batteries out of my camera, but its a 66 quart flat Sterilite with a hinged lid and rollers on the bottom. is this an ok choise, or did I make a mistake?

so I need heating advice, and humidity as well. anyone feel like taking a shot? sorry to pester you all with it but I cant find anything in previous threads or forums...maybe I just dont know how to search? LOL

thanks folks
