So, I have read much on these forums and am sooo glad I did. I have made significant changes in both tanks.

I have good thermostats, and an additional digital temp and humidity monitors in each. I read about how to place the probes so they are now between the glass and the heating mat on the bottom. The temp humidity one is in the middle. The heat probes under the tank and the humidity is just hanging in the tank about half way down the back.

I have gotten some black foam board that will be put on the sides and back of each tank. I just haven't gotten to it yet. Tomorrow is another day.

I found my metal light thingys and one bulb that is Waaaay too high of a wattage so I'm going to go shopping for new ones tomorrow. I would SSsoooo appreciate it if you could give me some advice on what wattage to get, color, and position on top of the tank please.

I so very much appreciate all the advice I have read and am doing my best to implamate it.

Still open to advice and constructive criticism.

Thankssss in advance.
