UTH Question

[Rell18]

Are Under Tank Heating Pads safe enough to leave on 24/7? Its a question thats been in my head for awhile now.

Yes, just make sure you use the spacers that are supplied with the UTH.

Tlbowling, when you say a dimmer, are you talking about a thermostat/rheostat. I got a little confused there.

a dimmer is a rheostat I believe and not a thermostat.They are 2 different things

A light dimmer would work, right?

I meant light dimmer, a light dimmer (rheostat) you adjust manually according to the room temp. A thermostat, which is better would work too, you can just set it and it'll turn itself on and off to adjust for room temp. itself. I just suggested to cheaper route b/c you sound like you only have one set up
