    Re: Temp Regulation Question

    I also have another, smaller UTH attached to my tank. The day I set up I had gotten the Zoo Med UTH that was too small for my tank size and didn't want to remove it since I knew it would become damaged. I simple got a bigger, correctly sized one and attached it to the other side and unplugged the smaller one.

    Is it time that I use this one as well? I would like to avoid buying a whole other thermometer.
    lamps always cause lower humidity, but you can combat this a number of ways: sphagnum moss, a damp towel laid over a hide, regular misting, bigger water dish, water dish under the bulb, covering any mesh tops with plexiglass or a damp bath towel. and i don't think you need to use the second UTH; keep working with your bulb and regulation until you're hitting optimum temps.

    like i said above: keep adjusting it until you're hitting 77° F. is the bulb regulated by a rheostat/dimmer? or a thermostat?

    also do you mean thermoSTAT instead of thermoMETER? they're two totally different things and the distinction is important in this hobby.
