    For the UTH, I think I'll get the Hydrofarm off of Amazon since it keeps getting recommended.

    For the probe I'm assuming I place the probe just above the substrate for "ground" level humidity and temp?

    And for the Hydrofarm, do I place the probe under the substrate on the glass, between the UTH and the class, or under the UTH?

    Again, thanks for the replies! Really helping me here.
    Just buy like 2 more regular probe thermometers and buy suction cups and mount the Acurite. Use 1 of the Probed Thermometers with the Probed Thermostat and tape them both to the bottom of the tank for the UTH temps and controlling. Then use the other probed thermometer and suction cup it right next to the light or hot spot. Then the Acurite probe can go to the cool area.

    Also when I say tape the Probes to the bottom of the tank I mean tape it on the outside right on the UTH.
