Great product, decent price, perfect for a heat mat setting.
The length of the wire connecting the thermostat probe to the unit is ample enough to submerge the probe into the substrate a few mils above the center of the heating mat (to get an accurate read of the temperature of the substrate) then run the probe data line to a corner of the tank and up the corner out of the tank, keeping it very hidden, my tank is 40Gal too and it runs from basically the center so no issue really.
The display text is large and concise, it reads the current temp and the set temp, wether the heating or cooling element is on or off. Programming the unit is fairly intuitive, as it has an alarm (never tested that), heat and cooling settings and the temperature setting. Heating turns power to the outlet on the unit on while the probe reads a temp lower than the desired temp and Cooling turns the outlet on when the temp is above the desired temp. It’s accurate to an integer number of degrees (Fahrenheit or Celsius, you can switch between the two seamlessly) and the display is backlit very well, in fact it’s so bright that at night you may have to cover it because it will act as a mini night light.
So far the only downside I’ve encountered is that it won’t directly support multiple heating or cooling devices a once, only having one power outlet. However this can be partially rectified by plugging in a surge protector strip and then plugging in either heating or cooling devices only into the strip. Be warned though the total power consumption of all the connected devices, in this manner, in watts, cannot exceed the maximum power rating for the Zoo-med digital thermostat. In fact just Incase of a surge you probably should leave a 15-25% space for power draw so you don’t fry the thermostat. Also don’t do this if you’re not a professional.
1) Most aquarium external thermostats are expensive and have more features than needed for a simple setup.
2) Most reptile heaters have a sensor that cannot be submerged in water (without sealing it somehow).
This unit addresses both. I have several and have used them for many months. They work great. Setting the temp is a little annoying, but how often do you do that? It would be nice if the back light could be disabled, but it's handy to be able to check the temperature at a glance. All of mine seem fairly accurate (within a degree or two). It seems to have 2 degrees of hysteresis (if set to 75, it will turn on at 73 and off at 75), which seems to be a reasonable compromise. Having a separate sensor lets you place it in an optional position to get an accurate reading (away from the heater).

Original review: Works well, SUPER easy to set the temperature and it maintains it well. One probe only, so if you needed one for a hot and cold side control you'd be better to get a unit with two probes and controls. But this was a good price for a nice little thermostat that looks very nice and works.
Te aseguras de que tu terrario este a la temperatura desada en todo momento.
