right now I only have 1 accurite, so I put the actual unit on the cool side of the tank and the probe underneath the substrate under the hide on the warm side. Cool side reads 76-79 (fluctuates between day/night) and since I dont have a thermostat right now (ordered one, its on the way) I'm having a hard time keeping the warm side from getting too hot. I put a layer of cardboard under the substrate and that seems to help a little bit, but not really enough. When I see the probe temp getting above 93 degrees I just turn the UTH off for a while. Is the cool side too cold? I'm planning on getting a second UTH once my thermo gets here and just heating the viv with the 2 UTH's, ditching the lights, 'cept for a viewing light. The lights I'm using right now are a 50 watt infrared during the day and a 50 watt blue bulb for night time viewing.
Any suggestions?
