Hello,
So I received my thermostat today (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o01_s00_i00)
I had to use some couple of pieces of wood that I had cut at home depot so I could raise my tank a few inches from the tank stand, before the tank was sitting direct on the stand which would not allow for my UTH to be placed directly under the tank due to the lack of space to allow the escape of the excess heat. Previously the UTH had to be placed on the side of the tank.
Once I had everything set up I was monitoring the thermostat and seeing how the temp fluxuates. I set the temp to 91 degrees, I noticed the once the thermostat shut off my UTH the temp would continue to raise to 92.6 degrees, then (even though the temp was set to 91), and it would not turn on the UTH until 88.8 degrees. I understand the thermostat I purchased is on the low end of what I could have bought, but I was wondering if these temp ranges are ok for the hot spot for my tank.
Thank you,
Greg
