I've been struggling with ambient temps in my 20G L glass tank so I picked up a 100W CHE and a 8.5" lamp with a built in dimmer. Is it safe to rest the lamp directly on the screen top or do I need to keep it suspended above the screen top?
The lamp came with a clamp but I don't have anything to clamp it to at the moment. My humidity is really high (70-80) so I'm not too worried about that yet.
This is my first time working with a CHE so any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
Yes, you can set the dome directly on the screen. Just remember that the dome is going to be hot, so whenever you need to open the top, make sure you let the CHE cool off for a while before setting it somewhere else...
