New Thermostat!

[Ax01]

I think this is very true of NON PROPORTIONAL dial units, but I have the single dial model of this one and I DON'T find that to be true at all. Once i set this one, it stays at a stable temp. It is proportional and has a brain to control it. I have found that the only difference between setting with a dial vs a digital readout is that sometimes it takes a couple of adjustments to zero in on the temp you want, but once you do that, it holds just fine. Maybe I have been lucky, but mine has been running consistent temps for months without any adjustment.

^ this. this is like just a Herpstat w/ knobs and no digital readout.

Thanks! When I use the heat gun, Do I point it at the substrate or the tank itself ( the glass)?

measure the hottest part, so under the substrate on the enclosure bottom.
