........i think the recent mania over back heat is by mfg's who of coarse like the less labor intensive way of building a rack.i wonder if anybody has ever slapped there UTH on the back glass of a fish tank?

i recently built a rack with 3" belly tape and added reflectix in the back,the results are remarkable.in a cool room you can remove a tub and actually feel heat on your face.when i check the heat (belly) in a tub back to front i find that the temp changes every 2-2.5 inches ALL the way to the front.i have checked back heat with a raytek and probed thermostats and i urge you to do the same,you'll be amazed how much heat your animals DON'T get. have fun!
