Is it possible to use one Herpstat or Ranco with two different tanks?

[Latlaw]

but the same size tanks. Wouldn't there be just one probe for temp measuring?

Yes. BUT!!! You must start the units you are heating up at exactly the same time. Make sure both tanks are cold (at roomtemperature), then run your thermostat into one of the units. Plug both tanks into one extension cord, and then plug the extension cord into the thermostat. This way, both tanks will be heating up and cooling at the same rate on one controller.

Thank you! I appreciate the tip. I just ordered the Herpstat and plan to set it up to my two tanks.

Good luck

With a Herpstat Pro you can run 4 different units (tanks or racks) off it with all having different temps if you needed.

How would you do that with only one probe?

The herpstat pro has 4 probes one for each.

Oh. I just ordered the standard one with one probe. Hopefully since my tank set ups are identical, this will work.
