baby racks.

I had a question for those of you that use Vision baby racks. Where is the best place to put the probe for the most accurate heat readings? Like what level and how to attach the probe would help a lot. My rack is the 18 level model. Any pictures would also be a huge help. Also,where do you guys mount your thermostat units on the actual rack? I bought a Helix dbs 1000 for it. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Find a small block that fits in between the two heat cords and is almost high enough to touch the probe to the tub. Tape them down with something that will be secure and permanent. The hot spot on the lower levels won't get as warm as the upper levels unless your room circulates air really well. The very top level will be a few degrees cooler than the rest too so I put the probe on the third one from the top.

Thanks Kyle,
you wouldn't happen to have a pic of what yours looks like do you?

Here you go. I used a piece of cardboard to raise the probe on this one. You will have to put a couple of layers of tape on to keep it from wiggling.
