Hi,

Ah yes I have encountered that temp range problem before.

I would get the temp gun ready and just scoop away the substrate inside the hot end hide and quickly shoot the floor. This should let you know how close to the right temps you are getting at the moment. If the temp gun doesn't read glass very well you could try using a piece of low tack painters tape to temporarily give you somehting to shoot at.

What type of thermostat did you get? And is there a gap between the tank floor and the heatmat?
