Ok, I installed a UTH that covers nearly 1/2 of the tank. I've had it running overnight. I was hoping to only need to use the UTH as the only heat source. I'm having my doubts that it's going to be enough alone. The air temp is only up to about 65-67 degrees after running the UTH all night (I even put a towel over the screen lid to help trap some of the heat in the tank to help) I'm hoping to get my leo today, but i need my tank to be warm enough before doing so. I guess I'm going to need to get a heat lamp too.
I was going to get a basic on/off thermostat for the UTH, but now I'm thinking if I need to use a heat lamp, that I should go ahead and get a proportional thermostat since I'll have a heat lamp running. Any thoughts on this? I'm happy to hear any and all advice.
Thanks
