If not, keep in mind that some substrates, or any THICK substrate, will reduce the effectiveness of an UTH even more. It's best to stay with a fairly thin substrate layer if you are using a UTH with nothing else.
That's a bit misleading. A substrate, even a thick one, can increase the effectiveness of a under-tank heat source by increasing thermal mass. In fact if anything it's best to have thermal mass in a glass tank when using only under tank heat.
I went into this in more detail on the caging forum where this topic was cross posted.
