Well i am assuming that it is screen top, there is a great sticky around that shows you how to cover your top and that works pretty good. I dont think running to UTH will help that much, when i ran mine without any type of control they got really hot. So one on the warm side should work but you need a good way to control it not just a timer, like a reostat or a thermostat. I would also not use any type of light bulb, instead a ceramic heat emmiter for a tank that large you will need to get a pretty big one. You are probably going to have to do alot of tweeking to get it all right, i would try to get it all dialed in and holding properly before moving the sanke.
