I do have a question. Have anyone ever used a tank water heater to heat and add humidity to there Viv.

I do, simply because I live in Montreal and we have crazy cold weather. I have a heating pad under the vivarium, just underneath the clay balls (remember, if you are using a heat pad, make sure it only covers a portion of the bottom, as frogs need also colder areas to thermoregulate).

Now with all the humidity and watering, I have good amount of water falling in the drainage bottom. The heat pad helps evaporate the water, thus creating more humidity but also, getting rid of the excess water...

As for heating, yes. But I have mine on a timer. It's a 15w heating cable, but it can heat pretty well.

I'm really excited to see what you do with that tank! It's so big, I bet it'll end up being awesome for 3 or 4 White's. ^ ^

Good luck on your journey! I'll be watching how you progress.

Oh, and you should definitely enter your build in the contest, it's a great opportunity set up by Cheri for new and senior members to win a great prize! And everyone has equal opportunity, that's what makes it so special. ^ ^

If I may ask...
is the heat pad inside the tank, or underneath the glass bottom of the tank?
And in addition to that, where would a cable go?
If room temp is, say, 65 degrees, could such gadgets heat a 20- or 29 ga tank to 75 degrees or so?
