If you find that your ambient temp or cool side aren't warm enough, you could try adding a plexiglass door on the front. I simple hinge and latch with many holes drilled in it will help hold in more warm air. Post pics too!

I've actually thought about doing that! I'll see if my temps are good and ill add a door if its too cool. I've heard some people having ambient temps in the low 70s, but with a door it stays nice and toasty in their racks.

I have a door on my rack. It works amazing for heat retention. When the door is open or closed, there is a large difference in temp.

Awesome, I might go ahead and build a door why I'm at it. I don't need it now with summer approaching, but maybe as it cools down.
How cool do you think the room would have to get before the temp in the rack drops below 80? With the door closed of course

In the winter, my indoor temps drop to around 60-65 (especially at night). This leaves the tub cool side sitting at in the high 60s/low 70s.
The rack can maintain a 77-80 ambient with the door closed. It definitely doesn't drop below 75. I haven't had an RI yet.
I keep the door open during the day and non-winter months.
The actual purpose of the door was to keep away unwanted eyes and my ferrets out during their play time. But it turned out better than I expected for retaining heat. haha.

Oh wow that's awesome. What is the door made out of? And what is your rack made out of?
