[KIBPLOVER]

at the other fourm im on they are using a life too what ever that is..

[KIBPLOVER]

with a herp stat, can you use in on 2 tanks and a rack together????

I have a question for Herpstat pro users.
I see where you can plug in 4 different heat sources, have 4 probes to set up temps on.

So you can hook say 4 different racks into one ?

My rack is 4 tubs high. But the flex for all 4 tubs is wired together w/ just one plug so using a Herperstat pro on that would kinda be a waste until I added say more racks , correct. I wouldn't need the other three outputs.

Is this how some of you users have them set up ?

same thing i was wanting to know if so may be worth it... i got 2 tanks and 1 rack

my rack is 5 tubs, each one with flex, and a 3 ft piece of back flex on wall, each individually plugged into a 6 plug outlet... all the same temp...

Lets do some quick math

The next t-stat I would use after Herpstat would be Helix...Lets take the cost of the 4-in-1 Herpstat Pro vs the cost of Helix and see how it compares:

Helix DBS1000 Proportional Thermostat: $134.99

134.99 x 4 = 539.96

That doesn't even include the night drop feature (which is built into Herpstat Pro)

so, add the Helix Night Drop Time Cord at 24.99 x 4 = an additional~100 bucks for a grand total of about 640.00 before shipping costs.

IMO...Herpstat Pro is an excellent and cost effective route to go... assuming you have 4 units that need to be controlled.

Herpstat Pro manual says each output should not exceed 400 watts. I believe that as long as you say under 400 watts then you should be OK

Man, how do some of you huge breeders out there afford to control all those tubs? good grief, I remember in the thread of post the setups you have someone posting a pic that had almost like 40 tubs and crap, thats insane alone, then ontop of it to control the temps for those! Dear Lord!

Zoo Med!! I've never had any problems with em.

I will, however, be buying a ranco when I get my GTP.

just not a fan of something has a high and low setting and thats it.
