We’ve got it regulated so it won’t get too hot. Her tank is stable around 77-78 cool side, 87-89 hot side, and so we’ve bought the styrofoam, and our project tonight will be to insulate her tank.
it’s also a 40gal zilla cage!
thank you again
just make sure to use a temp gun to take surface temps, especially over the heat pad. By no means am I saying get rid of that. They are beneficial. Just not how I go about things. Plenty of different ways but that’s a different convo. Anyways back on track. Like I said I use 100watt CHEs in the same cage and my hot end I get ambient temps of 86-88 and surface temps of 93. If left in regulated I’d have surface temps of probably 110 or more. Cool side ambients of 80-82 and surface temps in spots of 83-84.
