Really well said Justin....
if you follow what he said you should be just fine.
I moved from a glass set up like you have to pvc. However it can work if you set it up properly and stay on it. Also get a good coco substrate that will hold moisture otherwise you will constently
battle humidity
a good substrate dampened slightly will slowly help maintain levels and last you days as opposed to hours.
I used a heat bulb and t can work if you have one but as said a CHE is best
