That way, you can set one slightly hotter than the other to achieve a ~78-88deg temp gradient, and not stress your baby with a constant light overhead.

Add: A UTH will NOT increase your ambient temps. It creates a hot spot.
THIS IS WHY I LOVE FORUMS.
Can I just amazon that? Or would you recommend certain brands? But you WOULD add an under tank heater? Aren't thermostats the pricey ones?
I'm all for it no matter price

That's before adding light accessories, etc.
