The most popular type of heating is with a Heat mat. ValueAquatics recommend the Habistat Mat Stat (maximum load 100w). It is typically an on/off switch type and will control the temperature of the heat mat very accurately. The Habistat mat stat is calibrated in Fahrenheit and Celsius. Setting them up is very simple just follow the instructions that come with them. With heat mats lay or fix the thermostat probe on top and in the centre of the heat mat then put the substrate on the top, no more than about an inch thick. Also used with greenhouse tube heaters and cable heaters.

ValueAquatics offer two other Habistat on/off thermostats the Habistat Temperature Thermostat which is a standard on/off type for heat mats, tube heaters, cables with a maximum load of 300w.

The Habistat Twin Thermostat is simply two on/off thermostats in one box. It is perfect for controlling two heaters separately to give a specific temperature gradient… For heat mats, tube heaters, cables where the maximum load is 300w on each heater.
