    get rid of the dimmer switch , its not worth the hassle of constantly adjusting it.
    I had the dimmer switch setup for a while but found it very time consuming to keep adjusting it since the ambient temp of the room fluctuates too much.

    I ended up spending more in the end since I had to buy a ranco anyway.

    they do the job if you don't have any choice , or if you're waiting for one to be delivered. But I wouldn't use one long term.

    so redid the tank. fixed the humidity problems with changing the substrate from carpet to aspen. went from 35 to 70 with a light mist, settled at 60%. All i need now is to fill it some more with plants or something. temps are 83.4 ambient, 93.8 hot side and 78 on the cool side. sound ok? also changed to a red light so i can run it 24/7. i have a timer but im afraid if i cut 2 holes in my foil for 2 lights itll kill the humidity.

    i am awaiting my ranco thermostat. should be here this week. take out the hassle of adjusting like you said.

    heres a pic, whacha think so far? got it almost perfect for next week when i find a bp. sorry bout the mess lol got the moss everywhere!
