Heat Pad and Thermostat

Hey,

I am going to be getting a pair of Coastals from URS in about a week or so and am going to be keeping them together in a click clack kind of container that is about 600mmL x 450mmW x 450mmH, I am keeping them in there until I can build my display cabinet, they will likely only be in there for about 2-3 months.

What I want to know is what kind (brand, wattage, etc...) of heat pad and thermostat should I get for this, preferably the thermostat should be one that can be placed straight into the display cabinet once it is built.

Thanks.

Stockeh...if you want to become a millionaire (well, maybe not...), try and source or build a thermostat where the probe is a flat pad that can be placed on top of a heat mat. I would purchase atleast 6...

Just use a K type thrmocouple SX. Not a flat pad I know but a beaded wire is almost as versatile.
