However, I would do some research before putting UTHs on an acrylic aquarium. Some people say certain kinds are okay and others say it's straight up bad. I really don't know what to say besides you might have to end up using lights. I do use four UTHs now and a Bundy humidifier.1. He's in a 55 gallon tank right now. The lid is wired, but has saran wrap taped to the top to hold in humidity. I often remove/replace the wrap to adjust for humidity changes...
7. Humidity and heating -
**********Humidity: moist sphagnum moss as I've said. The water dishes also help. I have also soaked the corners one time with a 1/4 cup of water, which helped a lot and that pretty much ended my spray bottle dependency. As of 5/18, I have recently made a bubble pool setup and am in the process of putting it in the 55 gallon. I've pretty much been able to keep the humidity at a stable 85% lately, due to everything I do; sometimes it'll rise to 90% and I'll just remove some saran wrap. The only time it will lower is when I have to actually take off the lid completely.
**********Heating: Three UTH pads on the sides of the tank: one small pad on the footlong side built for 10 gallons; one variable temp Nat Geo UTH built for 20-30 gallons; and one variable temp Nat Geo UTH built for 40 gallons. Both var. temp UTHs are on the long side and are positioned with the "warm" end medial and the "hot" end lateral.
