Attaching Flex Watt Heat Tape

[Robo Roach]

Hi,

I have been using Zoo med UTH for my Dubias, but know that the temps are getting colder i have decided to use an 11'' Flex watt heat tape on a 20L tank and would like to know the best way to attach it to the bottom. Any advice would be appreciated.

Regards

They sell the silver tape to use for that, I think it is 26 cents a foot.

OMG! Heat tape is so amazing! I was using zoo med UTH for a while and they worked just fine : ). My collection grew and all those cords aren't to safe. Though I had seen these traumatic fire videos....After much reaserch and discussion . I realized with the proper set up (thermostat ect) I would try it. Though spontanious electrical fires do happen ! It's rare but yes they happen. With a close eye I was comftorble to try it out. I am happy I did. I laced it through a metal industrial rack with some silver tape. One cord yay mess gone! I will post photographs later. It's simple and I've had great luck with it.
