    What temps do you have your thermostat set to?

    As the title states what temps do you have your thermostats set to, to achieve the perfect hot spot temps?
    I am mainly asking regarding Racks.

    Thats a question I have wondered about too. I am using a ve100 on a diy rack with 11" flexwatt setup for backheat. I have been keeping it set to 92 but it seems a little low. Does anyone know if it needs to be kept warmer for backheating?

    How warm is the hot side of the cage? Back heat isnt my preference.

    I set mine at 96 to get 92-94 depending on the time of day.

    I was logging in to ask this same question...
    I have an AP eco. rack with a herpstat set at 90.5 to get a hotspot of 85..I am currently following Justin Kobylka's schedule so I have my hot spot at 85 right now.

    My hot side is still sitting around 88. I know there is probably already a thread on this, but is there a particular reason for you not preferring back heat? For me it was a matter of being the easiest method to set up in the rack I built.
