    New enclosure - Shopping list

    Before I place the order, I thought I should maybe get some opinions on anything I'm missing or see if anyone would advise against a specific product.

    My enclosure will be a 36x18x22 aquarium (yes, aquarium, so it has a centre brace and the glass is about 3/8ths thick). It's what I have, and it's what I intend to work with. That's the only thing I have already. Some of the stuff I may have gone overkill with the Watts, etc. If I didn't know then I just went on the high-end cause I wanted to gauge a price estimate. Nothing has been purchased yet though.

    My list:
    Heat
    - 11"x17" Exo Terra Heatwave Terrarium Substrate Heater

    - 150W Exo Terra Ceramic Heat Emitter

    - Fluker black 10 inch ceramic clamp lamp with switch

    Temp Control
    - Zilla 500W Temperature Controller

    OR Zoo Med Repti-Temp 500R Remote Sensor Thermostat
    http://www.petsandponds.com/en/repti...p16749870.html

    - Zilla Terrarium Hygrometer Thermometer
    http://www.petsandponds.com/en/repti...p17144050.html

    - Zoo Med REPTITEMP Digital Infrared Thermometer
    http://www.petsandponds.com/en/repti...p17644328.html

    Other
    - 2 pairs (so 4) Zilla Locking Screen Clips (are these reliable? Or are they flimsy/loose locks?)

    - Zilla Screen Cover (36x18) (are these durable enough?)

    Also considering a lamp stand for the CHE... But the Zilla clips say the lamp can be mounted to them?

    I've included links to the products that have a little more variation between one and the next.

    Hope I've formatted enough to spare your retinas.

    I know I haven't included anything like substrate, water bowl, hides, etc. Those are somewhat more straightforward...

    Thanks, I'd be lost without a place to bounce to for input, and I'd probably end up buying a bunch of stuff that would be useless to me.
