After months of fiddling with my temps and struggling with humidity, I bought a sterilite tub today. Honestly, it looks nicer and cleaner then my tank did.

Anyhow, its a 15 gallon. I drilled holes in the top, and now I'm wondering that is a problem. I can't seem to get the ambient temp up. Warm side is 93.5 under the paper towels. The ambient is still only 75. Humididty is 66%.

Would it be better to get a new lid and drill holes in the sides of the tub? Any other suggestions for ambient temp?

Thanks!!!
