    Is the dimmer on the hot or cold side? And are you doing the "right" way??? If it's like mine, the green light lit up means the dimmer and heat is OFF....I thought it was the other way at first.

    Means your room is too cool, so you might need another heat source for the cool side. Since the dimmer is on your hot side source, turn it down a little. If your water is on the heat, move it closer to the cool side.


    Any HUMIDITY changes will take longer to stabilize and be noted by the hygrometer because it's the moisture in the air. Those changes don't change as quickly as heat ones.

    No, not if your bedroom is warmer. If you're in a basement, or you're like me....my roommate kept turning on the AC in the middle of winter *go figure!* then the room got too cold and I couldn't keep Baby's tank warm enough. I had to get heat lamp and CHE to help the UTH make the right temperature zones.

    What type of room do you have it in? I had the same issues when I setup my enclosure and had to add a second UTH on the cool side. I now have a thermostat on each UTH so I can control temps in both zones. Even with that, when I put my temp guages in the corners of the setup, I was still under 80 once I moved off of the UTH. I added a IR lamp to help raise overall temps and the temps are fine now.

    Peace!!
