Not sure it this topic belongs here, but I am having major issues with my Zilla UTH. Out of the box it got up to a hundred once, now a couple of days later if fluctuates between mid 70's up to mid 80's. My set up is a 10 gallon tank for a leopard gecko.
I am using vinyl tile as the substrate, I tried ceramic but the heat transfer was even worse.Want to try slate but could not get it cut correctly. To try to help I even removed the bottom glass so the pad is pressed up agains the bottom of the substrate, no good. I tried no gap, half inch gap then a one inch gap, but still similar results.
Not sure if the the heater is broken or what. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.
