For those that use RBI racks.... how low do you go?

I have to ask, at what temp do you run your t-stat? I have mine set at 96 and the nights here lately have been at 70-72. I set up the A/C heater at 70-72, to at least keep it at that.

A little unrelated but i thought i would share it none the less, we have written an article about RBI the company itself over at the blog if you wanted to learn more about them

A question too....how much does it cost to run one of those oil filled heaters all year round, anyone know?

My thermostat on my CB70 racks is set to 96 year round. that keeps the warm side of tub at about 90 degrees.

I guess I just need to experiment but I figure these RBI CB70 racks with two rows of belly heat tape can probably handle a much cooler room temperature then one would think....

What kind of thermostat do you use? I have a ranco still. Im planning to get a herpstat ND as soon as Im able to.
