    Bc you have to set the tstat higher. Running the flexwatt hotter and alot more heat probably gets wasted. And i feel like itd be harder to keep a hotspot with backheat too.

    Re: What temps do you have your thermostat set to?

    Interesting thread so I figure I'll chime in. I have a 40 gal glass breeder. I have a Herpstat II. UTH is set at 94.6 which gives me a 90-92 degree hot spot on the warm side depending on whether we have the AC on in the house or not. I have an infrared bulb for ambient temps set at 83.5 which gives me 80-81 for ambient tank temps.

    Humidity is about 55% or more depending on shed cycles.
