i had a natures spirit purchased in the early 2000's and that was running heat tape with out issue. can you tell me more about the CHE they use, possibly a picture because ive only seen the screw in CHE's unless its a radiant heat panel they are using? I was thinking about mounting a RHP instead of the heat tape.

i did see that RBI system with the rivets and IMO looks like the safest heat tape connection possible. thanks for the pics

i replaced the heat tape it came with ( 2 pieces - 11 in wide 12 in length ) with one 3ft long 11inch wide piece of heat tape i had in house. it runs down the back of the false wall and onto the floor of the incubator. ( forgot to take pics before i put it back together ) and its running great maitaining 88 degrees at about 40% on the herpstat.

on a personal note i haven't mentioned the manufacturer of the incubator because i dont want to go there, but i must say im dissapointed with the design and customer serv.
