Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

A height of 18 inches seems to work well. I have a 24 inch tall enclosure and the RHP doesn't make much of a hot spot, though it does help bump up the ambient temp.

Used to run all flex watt under wooden enclosures that would have to be its own trend. Was thinking 18" with a heat controller. Will it make a warmer spot at that temp. Or will i need more heating. I figured im stacking so one above gets a little from down below but these will be bottom emclosures.

My female is in a 8'x3'x2' and has a strip of heat tape under it as well as a 120W RHP.

Heat tape isn't dangerous UNLESS it's permitted to run unregulated by a thermostat. Make sure that the brand of thermostat you use fails safe (off) instead of the cheaper ones that fail full-on.
