Uth
Based on what I've read, a lot of people control their UTH with a plug in lamp dimmer. I was going to order one, but I need to know if i can connect multiple heaters to it or do i need to buy one for each tank. Thanks in advance.

Re: Uth
It depends on the max wattage the dimmer is rated for. Most heat mats are fairly low wattage, so you can probably run several through one dimmer.

Re: Uth
If you do connect multiple UTH's to one dimmer, you're probably not going to be able to adjust the temps in each enclosure correctly that way.

Re: Uth
Yes if all the uth are the same wattage/size. Ive used them but they are a pain and have to be watched closely since they dont change with the room temps. Also they are very touchy, at least mine is. If you move it even a jot it will change the temps.
Ive slowly moved away from dimmers and bought those Hydrofarm thermostats.

Re: Uth
Most would recommend a thermostat rather than a dimmer. More accurate and will adjust the temp properly regardless to uncontrollable changes like weather.
