Yea, I realize it's an overkill for a BP. I have not actually started building it yet. I am thinking of dropping the size down to 48" long. I still plan on 2' D x 2' W.
I do use TSTATS on everything I have! There is no exception for those in my book! I also use digital hygrometers. I'm thinking with a 48" x 24" x 24" I could probably use a 150 watt CHE. If needed I could always add a lower wattage to the cool side to keep an ambient 75 degrees on that side. I will be using 2 of the Intellitemp heat mats. Hot side at 90 and cool side around 80. Yep! TSTAT on each!
Thanks for all the great advise. Now I just need to get busy!!
