Re: My set up.
I really like the Helix thermostats. I have one on an incubator. It worked so well it's first year, I bought a second for anothet incubator.

Why did you set it to 84? How long had it been running before you temped it?

Re: My set up.
I set helix for 84 but when checked temperature it was on 86. I put tank on floor in corner because I wasn't able to get onto tank with it that high.
Also removed helix this morning and iam monitoring temp. Helix may not have been consist trying without

Re: My set up.
Was originally going to put tank here but actually vents where a issue creating a draft

Are you using another thermostat since you removed helix? You must regulate your uth. The first thing I would check as the problem would be the temp gun, I would get an acurite 00891 thermometer or a different brand temp gun to compare to the one you already have.
