My heating pad does NOT have anything to control the temperature (yet). Everything together cost nearly $200 as is, so I'm waiting till next paycheck to get that. (I touch the floor of the tank everyday to feel the temperature, and it's not been to hot)

I do NOT have any other thermometer besides what is shown in the picture (if you post a small list so I can get an idea of what exactly I need, that would help tremendously!)

I will get a new hide when I get my temperature control element.

& the temperature range in the room is between 75*-85*. I've been worrying about this as nobody really uses this room and I sometimes think it's too cold, but I've been gauging it.
