Hey Guys,
The primary heat system in my tank is an under tank heater and a heat lamp (50W). I've set up the tank as required, and modified and re-modified it a couple times at the recommendation of most of you. So here's my newest question:

I currently have a reptitemp 500r thermostat that I "aquired." I'd like to replace it with something of better quality. What are some model numbers of the popular brands that are good, but not rediculous, that I should purchase. I'm looking into the $70-120 range, with a single probe (simple to use, im new).

Also, What can I do to dim the heat lamp a bit? Rheostat? Etc?

Thanks again,
-Camp
