MootWorm already eluded to it, but you may be able to do without the second UTH or the overhead lamp depending on the temperature of the room that your tank is in. Once you have your primary UTH moved and the temperature steady on the warm side, measure the temp on both the floor on that side and the floor on the other side. If it's 76-80 on the cool side, then you don't have to spend the extra money on a second heating setup. :)

Okay. I don't mind spending the $$$ if it means I err on the side of certainty. And as you can see, I get uncertain about a few things, but then once I figure things out, I'm really comfortable with the setup.
