they come out with some complete cr@p for instructions! lay the probe on the substrate above the heatmat, don't trust the dial on the stat, check the temperature manually with a thermometer then adjust the control on the stat accordingly  |

| I use a book to press the heat mat against the glass - there needs to be contact for the heat to transfer. I also tape them on to some of my other tanks, but the tape gets a bit sticky and melty depending on the temperature.. |
