    Testing new heating, several immediate problems...

    So I finally got all the heating plugged in to test in the new PVCs I've got set up for my BP and corn. And instantly I noticed the probe on the bottom PVC is effectively broken, reading a WILDLY high temp when the bulb isn't even on. And for the bulb/stat that IS working, the temp is entirely too low, not even 90F directly under the bulb, and leaving the rest of the enclosure at 70 (way too cold for a BP). The bulbs are 25 watt halogens, which I was told would be plenty warm enough for these setups, but it's looking like they aren't warm enough at all...

    Turns out I had the probes plugged into the opposite thermostats so it completely threw off the readings. Still need to get higher wattage bulbs though, but thankfully they're rather cheap.
