@ mellowman:

firstly, congrats on the finished job- looks awesome!

i have woodworking skills learned from my finish carpenter/cabinet-builder father and am planning a nice custom viv made from wood.

question: how do you tackle the belly heat problem? do you use flex-watt heat tape? if so, can it be placed directly on top of the wood with tile on a sand bed over the top of the heat tape? or do you need to put some sort of barrier between the heat tape and the wooden bottom of the viv? i've also seen heat cable mentioned on the forum before. i'm guessing this would also be a good choice when dealing with a wooden viv rather than a uth on a glass tank although i've never seen a pic or seen it described in any detail. any pics of your belly-heat system as well as any suggestions would be great! just worried about fire-hazzards-

noticed the wood under the tank is cut out so the heater pad is not touching anything.
