>>so I recently got about 12' of heat tape, I have put it all together and also got a thermostat to run it. I wrapped it around my 4' glass tank, and turned it on. The problem is it doesn't really get hot enough, it is warm to the touch but doesn't warm anything up. I even took it off the thermostat and plugged it right into the outlet and it put out the same heat. I have the 3" wide one.





I would bet that the crimps hooking it to the wire aren't tight. I really have to ream on them. (whimpy girl) Once you make contact the tape will get to 120 or so pretty fast.

Failure is not an option. It comes bundled with the software.
