Rack heat fluctuations.
OK I have my rack and it seems like every few days I am having to tweek my heat temp on my T-stat.
For example on Monday I will have every thing set correctly. Then Tuesday the front of my rack will have the proper temp but the back is too cold ( adjust accordingly) Wednesday the back of the rack is just fine but the front is too hot. and so on and so forth.
Also my top tub is always a couple of degrees cooler then the bottom some times as much as 6F. I have the probe on the heat tape on the middle rack.
I have my snake room heated to 80F so the front should be just fine.
I was thinking of burning some holes in my tubs to allow air flow but if that is not going to help I do not want to burn holes that will do nothing.

Re: Rack heat fluctuations.
What type of thermostat are you using?

Re: Rack heat fluctuations.
I found that burning holes in the tubs stabilized the temps in my racks. Also, with no holes, aren't your tubs too humid??

Re: Rack heat fluctuations.
I am using a helix dbs1000 perportional T-stat.
This might be the wrong way to do it but I mesure the humidity of my room. I keep it between 50 & 60%.

Re: Rack heat fluctuations.
If the tubs are in a closed rack system, chances are the humidity inside is higher than the room humidity. You might wanna check inside the tubs, and add ventilation holes accordingly.
