### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works good for 40 gallon tanks

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Product

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for regulating Heat pads
*by M***H on April 21, 2021*

I bought this style thermostat specifically for use with a 30-40 gal ZooMed heating pad. So far I’ve had it for 3-4 months and it’s worked flawlessly. The length of the wire connecting the thermostat probe to the unit is ample enough to submerge the probe into the substrate a few mils above the center of the heating mat (to get an accurate read of the temperature of the substrate) then run the probe data line to a corner of the tank and up the corner out of the tank, keeping it very hidden, my tank is 40Gal too and it runs from basically the center so no issue really. The display text is large and concise, it reads the current temp and the set temp, wether the heating or cooling element is on or off. Programming the unit is fairly intuitive, as it has an alarm (never tested that), heat and cooling settings and the temperature setting. Heating turns power to the outlet on the unit on while the probe reads a temp lower than the desired temp and Cooling turns the outlet on when the temp is above the desired temp. It’s accurate to an integer number of degrees (Fahrenheit or Celsius, you can switch between the two seamlessly) and the display is backlit very well, in fact it’s so bright that at night you may have to cover it because it will act as a mini night light. So far the only downside I’ve encountered is that it won’t directly support multiple heating or cooling devices a once, only having one power outlet. However this can be partially rectified by plugging in a surge protector strip and then plugging in either heating or cooling devices only into the strip. Be warned though the total power consumption of all the connected devices, in this manner, in watts, cannot exceed the maximum power rating for the Zoo-med digital thermostat. In fact just Incase of a surge you probably should leave a 15-25% space for power draw so you don’t fry the thermostat. Also don’t do this if you’re not a professional.
