Have you considered a tub set up? I have fairly inconsistent temps in my apartment in one room and tubs have worked out really well with only using flexwatt...or maybe a space heater? The only difference with the tub is you can ditch the tank and put everything from the tank into a tub...you'd only be spending like $15 more lol. Heat and humidity is hard to maintain in a tank in good room temps, nevermind in a cold drafty basement with no temperature control....
Just texted with my fiancee (he is at home and i am at work) about the temps and humidity in the tank. It has dropped again. I cant keep doing this to her. I will be switching to a tub system ASAP. Thanks for all the help guys.
