I understand that mate, but I'm saying allowing for the pads will ultimately let to Much heat out from the gaps. How about you attach the mat to the bottom of the glass and then lay the tank onto a sheet of polystyrene, then in this instance the little plastic bulky thing your worried about can be pressed into the polystyrene by making a small dugout for it to sit inside. That way from the front there is no gap, from the back there is no gap, and the wire is hidden with in the polystyrene, you could even drill a hole in the top of the unit under the tank for the wire to slip through, completely hiding everything ?
