Edit: I say return it! I hated mine and honestly they are unreliable in my eyes. There is no other way to adjust temps until you know what your temps currently are. Bottom line, you need to get a reliable digital thermostat or a temp gun.Originally Posted by LGray23
Hypothetically speaking, once you actually know what the temps of the hot spot and ambient temps are for sure without guessing, if you control the UTH and the hot spot is steady at 88-92 and your ambient temps are still too low for your liking, you can buy a low wattage heat lamp or CHE (ceramic heat emitter). Those tend to be pretty intense, I like to keep all of mine on dimmers. You can buy a dimmer from Home Depot or Lowes for $10...it'll be in the lamp section. I hope I helped!
