I have my rack ready and now all I have to do is install the heat source. It seems Flexwatt tape is the way to go; does anybody have any experience setting this stuff up? What do I need? is it easy? any other advice? Thanks a lot!

Trevor

Also.. I am using the 7 U.S. Gallon (26.4 Litre) containers. where on the container should the heat be located? the front.. the back? How large of an area?

Thanks again,
Trevor

I use flew watt for all my 7 leo cages, I bought the 4'' flew watt from www.beanfarm.com and the 6' cords and just buy extra clamps as they are cheap and I use electrical tape over in place of the insulators. I put the heat tapes in the back of the cage about 4'' from the end. Youy can give them a call and they will tell you what you need.

Here are a couple of links that should explain everything about setting up the heat tape.
