Hope that makes sense.

Ok, so I understand it now... and now I know how to set it up when I get it. Thanks a ton.

So I moved the light area, which is a hole I have cut into the top insulation and hopefully I can pick up one of these ceramic bulbs when I get the other stuff. My new temp gage seems to be working wonderfully. The heat however is only still ranging around 78-80 now, and I can't tell whether it's slowely getting hotter or not. Do you guys think that dark night bulb I have will heat it efficiently if left on for awhile? I feel like it's not getting the it's area hot enough, but that could just be me... I don't really know much about all these new types of bulbs. But I'll def still try to snatch up one of the ceramic ones.

Is it all right for the "light", whichever bulb is used, to be over the water dish? I currently have that placed in the middle, inbetween two hides, one over the UTH and the other on the "cool" side.
