    Thumbs down 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.

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

    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.
