Bob is the guy who "turned me on" to heat mats, and he's right about watching the liquid level.

The heat mats I use (and carry) are the Hydrofarm single-tray size, 17 watt ones. They boost the temp by 10°F-20°F, depending upon your growing area factors. I find that there is no need for a thermostat.
