UTH Temps

I have a zoo med UTH on my 10 gal tank, and i thought they were made to stay at a reasonable temp. Is between 92-93 okay? Also what is a good temp for warm and cold sides? On 8ball site i see heat tape is at 94 and ambient temp is 88. Are those numbers what each side is reading at or what? Thanks for the advice!

Ambient is the air temperature.

I try for 92 on my hot spot, 85-87 for the warm end ambient and 78-80 for cool end ambient temperature.

These are variable up and down a few degrees, some people like 94 as a hot spot which is fine too, I just try to stay under 95.

Under tank heaters are not meant to stay at any temp, they are made to plug into a thermostat so you control them that way :)

I plugged directly into the wall a zoo-med UTH recently just to test it.
It went to 118 degrees in no time at all :(
