Well I switched the IR bulb to a CEH and the ambient is running at 81 and the hot hide is 88, so as long as that continues Ill be happy. So far the humidity has stayed solid at 60%, but Im keeping a close eye on it and will adjust misting as needed.
Im going to order a TStat, just trying to decide between Helix and Herpstat. Will keep an eye out for a used one.
