I have some left over linoleum tiles(the peel/stick kind)...would these work for an aquarium bottom?
I didn't want to go the ceramic tile way because of the added weight but I'm sure I could attach these with minimal air pockets(esp if I used some of the glue i have left) so would this still transfer a good bit of heat from the UTH?
---
Also kind of off topic from the first but I may eventually build my own rack and I've ordered some heat cables...
Can someone explain the route/grove process more exact for me, I'm not really carpentry inclined but maybe I could explain it to hubby right.
And is there any way to use heat cables with my aquariums until I get a rack system setup?
Also I was thinking of turning my very small closet into a sort of rack setup, geckos don't like lighting so that works out there...but I'm not sure I want to try to build a shelf to fit in there(plus I'd like it to be higher with less bending. Is there a way to modify the white shelving racks(like you can buy at lowes or walmart) you can attach to the walls to make a rack system and use the heat cables with it? I know it would probably make the heat cable harder to attach but can anyone think of a way to use that? I guess I could always stick with UTH minis(which can be used with plastic tubs) but not sure if that will provide the heat neccessary.
I don't want to go with heat tape because I'm just not electric inclined and the horror stories I've heard.
