> 3 daySo first off, I love the actual thermostat, its easy to read, and easy to set and is very accurate from what I have notice. The heat pad however, leaves something to be desired. The instruction booklet says the aim is to achieve your desired temperature in 5hours, it was well over 36 hours before it got anywhere near where I needed it to be. I bought this for a pacman frog with the expectation that it would be able to get my 10 gallon tank from 70F to 80F using it on the side of the tank. The tank has a glass lid and is insulated. I feel as though generally the tank itself holds the temperature/humidity well as I have used this set up in the past but with lights and not heat mats. I read the instructions and applied it correctly. Initially it wasnt able to do get the tank more than 4 or degrees above room temp. This heat pad was rated for 10-20 gallons. I reached out to the company for advice and still havent heard back from them (it has been more than 4 days). With some help from the amphibian community I was able to tweak things to get the temp where I needed it to be. Im disappointed in the lack of response from vivosun. I would not use this particular item on a 20gallon tank. If I had too I might use the next size up for one. All in all, I dont like the companys inability to respond to my questions. I dont think this particular product should be rated for anything over a 5gallon tank. I do like thermostat and I like that there was the option of buying it in a bundle.

> 3 dayThe company replaced the first one because it did not stick. I cleaned the outside of the tank w/vinegar (first go round was Windex); I applied the newly sent replacement and the next morning it had already fallen off the bottom of the glass tank exterior. This is to be used for a leopard gecko. I have a thermostat from a different, smaller pad which I am no longer using (the pad); this thermostat was working with this new pad (for the brief time I could use it!). The pad seems to heat great; it just wont stay on! So frustrated! Im waiting to hear from 3M to learn what Heat Resistant product I can use to reattach this pad. My first brand was BN-LINK; the adhesive on this product was amazing. Unfortunately that product didnt heat well. This has been a real challenge. I dont see any better pads on the market.
