Got a 11 x 29 Ultratherm :)
Just installed a new heater What's your thoughts about ultratherm? I read on here that it's the best kind so I bought the one sized for a 20 gal long. Curious about everyone's experience with these

Ultratherm's are the pinnacle of UTHs. I installed an 11x23 on the 29g almost two years ago and haven't had a second of trouble with it. One of the very nice perks of the Ultratherm is that they can be insulated, if needed, to boost the output.

Sweet! That's awesome, how did you stick it on your tank? Currently, I have it stuck on with scotch tape but I'm sure there's a better wayCrabinski wrote:Ultratherm's are the pinnacle of UTHs.

We started out with 1
Zoomed UTH then another because the first one did a horrible job then finally gave in and got the Ultratherm. Best money spent!! I use packing tape all along the edges (no tape on the heating element itself).

Same! The zoomed one I had was pathetic, didn't make a difference at all, but this one is so nice a toasty that 3 out of 4 of my crabs came out to play this morning!

I just purchased mine, but I used reflectix tape. I read you could use package tape & duct tape also. .

Is scotch tape okay? That's what I've got now

I'm sure it'd work in a pinch, but I don't know how well it will hold up long term.
Re: Got a 11 x 29 Ultratherm :)
Okay, when I get back home I'll use duct tape or something, thanks guys!

Omg I love this heater I just got home and the tank temp is 85 it's perfect, before with the Zoomed I couldn't get it above 80 even in the sun! Success!
