Yep I did just that wodesorel :) UTH is a 22 wattage and it was the largest one that would fit my entire back. I've also placed a towel over it to keep the heat in. Half of my lid is also covered in foil. I've done the best as I can :( This is a 10 gallon tank only so a ceramic one isnt the best opt...

?? I don't understand the high and low 70 you're saying. It is 72 on good days. I have trouble getting the right conditions in my tank and have gone through a ton of questions and trials in here and in my tank. So far I have a UTH as my heater source. It wasn't supposed to be that way but since my b...

Ok, so I have since renovated my tank and have more sand now. Still no sign of digging on their part... what's wrong with them??

very creative! I love how you gave them all sorts of options Where did you get the purple castle btw? I'd love to have one of those
