Which UTH?

Post by briannashermitcrabs » Sat Sep 30, 2017 12:38 am

I have a 40 gallon tank, ordering an under tank heater for it within a few days, which one do you guys recommend? Will one of these be big enough? ImageImage

Honestly those are no good. They do little to nothing for heating. For the price of those, you could get a better heater from http://www.reptilebasics.com or http://www.beanfarm.com You'll want the largest that will fit along rhe back and ABOVE the sub.

Edit: a few inches of overlap with the sub is okay. Just tends to dry it out quicker

Did you purchase this UTH? I'm looking into getting one for my 40 gallon, but I'm not sure what wattage/size to get!?
