Heat tape question

I did not know where to post this question, I'm hoping someone here can answer it. I do not keep any snakes or reptiles right now but often visit this site to check out the classified sections. Often I see heat tape for sale. I have several aquariums and heating them with individual tanks is starting to cost me lots of money. Has anyone ever tired heating aquarium tanks using heat tape running under them. Or would it work. All my tanks are beside each other on stands. The tanks do not need to get real warm, if they were arond 30F would be OK.

Yes, heat tape would work just as UTH's work for aquariums, as long as they are hooked up to a thermostat or rheostat to regulate the temps.

Thanks for the reply, I'll look and and wait for a good deal on the equipment. I'll probably need 30-50 feet of the tape and a thermastat to control it. I'm currently running 10 tanks...
