I am setting up a 20L with a ceramic tile bottom. The tiles are 1/4 inch thick and sitting directly on the glass. I even scraped out the corners of silicone to make sure it was a nice flush fit with no raised corners. I bought a Zoo Med heater for 10-20 gallons. It's been hooked up for 2 days now and I cannot get the temp of the tile to go above 80. The temp of the glass under is about 98.
I don't know what to do. Is this normal? Should I get a second and set them side by side?
