UTH Size?

Post by Asheka » Fri Mar 27, 2015 1:49 pm

Just wondering quickly, for a 35G tank, what size of UTH should I order?

Ideally one that covers the entire back of the tank. You can always reduce the heat with a plug-in lamp dimmer if it's too warm, but you won't be able to add more heat without adding a second pad or heat lamp.

Sorry, I was looking on the website I can order from and they have measurements for them. Should I get the entire length, or leave it a bit shorter to not be behind the "pool area"?

Get the whole length, but above the line of substrate. Heating the pool should be no prob, they like the water warm.
