Review on Aiicioo Under Tank Heater Thermostat 8W/16W/24W - Reptile Heating Pad with Temperature Control for Hermit Crab Lizard Terrarium Combo Set by Jody Yarrish

Many reviewers complain about how much heat it generates. That is not much. Look at the wattage of each product you buy. The laws of physics state that you don't get more heat than watts. Below I explain how you can measure how much heat you receive. If you understand what you're getting it's still a great product and my gecko loves to hang out on the warm side of my tank where I crank it up to 90 degrees. The thermostat does a good job of maintaining an even temperature. Not wanting to run the thermostat wire into the tank, I placed it between the gasket and the glass. This gives me the pad/glass temperature on the outside that the gecko doesn't sense, so I used a thermal sensor to measure the temperature of the inside bottom of the tank and adjusted the thermostat until I got what I wanted. be. If you have a large open tank and put it on its side, don't expect much of an effect. If you want to see how much heat is generated in the process, first remember that a third of your heat is radiated outside of the tank. The remaining two-thirds is absorbed by the glass, which draws half of its heat outside of the tank and the other half in, meaning only 5 watts of heat goes into your tank. So if you want to know what it's like, buy a night light (5W) and imagine the tiny heat spread across your aquarium glass.
