You may be able to install a simple variable switch you can get from Home Depot or Lowes. If your not sure ask them for help or just buy a better pad that has and adjustable switch on it. They also sell a Repti Thermostat that you can plug the heat pad into and it will control the temps. If you are using any kind of heat lamp or over head light turn it off. You can also slide the pad off so only a smaller amount of surface space is touching the bottom of the Aquarium. A pad with an adjustable switch is the best solution.
