Set-up Questions

[paroxysm]

okay, i'm going to break it down. sorry, just want to do it right this time .

hot side:
- uth
- thermometer right on top of uth
- thermostat probe in between uth and bottom of enclosure. thermostat set at whatever temperature makes the thermometer read around 92

doesn't it make more sense for the che to be in the middle?

cool side:
- che
- i don't know how dimmers work but a dimmer is needed
- where should the thermometer be


so, regardless of the hot side/ cool side basking temps being around 82 and 92, the ambient temp of the whole thing should be around 80? is this correct?

oh my gosh im so sorry for asking a lot of questions i just don't want to mess up again.
