Oh and back to the humidity for a moment.... I removed the water dishes for the moment. I'm getting some smaller ones tomorrow as its 1 am. I also drilled an array of holes in the tops of the tubs. I think I'd rather have to little humidity and have to bump it than too much and run into issues. Any suggestions?
Slow down. You are changing things to quick before letting things get settled. Your temps are fine and the amount of holes was probably good too if you would have just allowed the cypress to dry out some.

I would have the bottom of the tub only reach 90. If the substrate does not show the same temp or as close as you would like thin the substrate out over the uth.
