Heat bulb

Hello, I was having the same problem with heat myself this winter and this is what I did. If you build a box out of wood or even some nice thick cardboard and put it around 3 sides, back and 2 sides I find it it holds the heat in good. I use under tank heaters on this tank so they r inbetween the wood and glass, its almost as if it was underneath. Leave a gap around the top edge were your lid is and a gap on each side in the front for air flow. You need the airflow again just as if it was underneath. I will post a picture. And the tank is out from the wall a good 4 inches so the air flows out both sides of the foil. And there is a 10-20 gallon UTH on one side and a 30-50 on the other so there is a temp gradient, and this is a 20 gallon tall not a 10 gallon. In the summer I can tear it all down.

Hmm ok, I might try something like this. My room he is in gets no heat, so all the heat is relied on the heat lamp.
