Hey, I'm getting my first BP Tuesday and I'm pretty excited. I have a few last minute questions though. I'm using Eco-Earth coconut fiber and currently I have a layer of about 1/2 inch thick, how thick do you suggest I have it. It is also packed down fairly tight, should I leave it loose or keep it tight? I have an 8"x8" 8 watt substrate heater and a 75w blue light bulb on a Repti Temp 500R thermostat, do you think the heater could overheat the coconut bark to the point where it comes too hot? Should I place my clay hide directly on top of where the UTH is or should i place it slightly to the side?

Thanks in advance, Perry.
