Ok, I plan on purchasing a BP soon and am finding out that heating in a glass aquarium is much more complicated than I originally thought. How do you do this effectively? What do you recommend? From reading some FAQ's, I was thinking the following:

2 Ranco thermostats controlling 1 UTH each (one on warm side (92 degrees), one on cool side (82 degrees)).
1 ceramic heat emitter on top of tank hooked to Ranco that is regulating the warm side.

Now what I would like to do is use a nice proportional thermostat like a Helix but I don't want to purchase 2 of these to work with the plan I just described because that is a lot of money. There has got to be a better way of having the proper temps.

What is your setup? What equipment do you use for the proper temp gradients?
