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.

My DIY rack is set to about 98.5, my RBI rack is set to about 101.

Johnsons on my DIY rack, Herpstat on my RBI rack.

What thermostat are you using also?

RBI sweater box rack-94.5 for a 90-91 hotspot
GTP tub-88 for a 88 hot side
40gallon breeder-94 for a 92 hotspot(under substrate)

AP 10 tub rack with heat able. VE-200 set to 96 for a 87-88 deg hotspot.

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.
