UTH barely sticks to the bottom of my tub....

I recently switched from a glass tank to a plastic tub and on the bottom of my tub there are like these squares so when I try to stick the UTH on the bottom of it, it doesn't stick very well at all.....can I put tape on it?

I don't know what to do

I assume you are putting it on the outside, right? I would use foil tape. You can get a roll at Home Depot for about $6.

why do you need to stick it? i just changed to a tub aswell and i just sit the tub on top of the uht. seems to be working out fine.

because the tub is slightly raised so it wouldnt be touching the UTH....

mine works ok, got my thermostat set at 93 and get temps on hot side of 91-92. just my opinion.

thats probably because your tub isnt raised at all and it doesnt have squares on the bottom making it really hard to stick

A lil duct tape on the edges will have that sucker in place for a good while.

A lil duck tape on the edges will have that sucker in place for a good while.
