I finally finished building my rack and got it set up in my house. As of now, I'm using 4 41qt tubs and nine 28qts with 11in of Flexwatt. The flexwatt and thermostat is coming in the mail tomorrow.

Questions:

1. About where should I place the probe for the thermostat? Start at the middle and adjust til I find what works?

2. As for individual thermometers for the tubs, do you have 1 thermometer/hygrometer per tub? Is it better just to invest in an infared heat gun?

3. What temperature should I set my thermostat to start off with?

4. Also, since the BPs will be enclosed in a rack, do they still need hides?
