| sounds like you have it all figured out..... silly question maybe but with the heating cable if when heating the bottom ones... how are you going to keep the heat from warming the ones above it even more and keeping the heat to one side of the tubs ? |

| I am routing the heating cable lines in and running it along the bottom up, the side, along the underneath of the next shelf and up the shelf side, all the way up...im not to sure how to regulate the temps at the mo but the snake shop i go to have shown me there stacking (hense where the idea and plans come from) and they dont have an issue with temps, however i shall ask them tomorrow. |
