You can see the below post I responded to that shows how I incorporated heat tape into my rack system. Heat tape is the best!!! You won't waste anymore money on heat mats or Under tank heater or any of that crap. Heat tape is under $4 sq.ft.

Here is a link to the spots you can get heat tape. There is a slight difference in price, but check the difference for the prewired power cord:

And here is a link to a page where that does a good job explaining heat tape:
