LATEST UPDATE:
We have my son’s aquarium all set up and ready to go. The following are the thermostat and temp/humidity readings that have been constant for several days;
Hot side: 89-91 degrees, 51-71% humidity, 66 degrees inside air temp
Cool side: 78-81 degrees, 51-71% humidity, 66-67 degrees inside air temp
I have two sets of Thermometer/Humidity gauges and the readings are taken about an inch above the substrate.
My only concern is that the inside air temp might be a tad low. The room stays about 68-70 degrees. I could add an auxiliary heater to warm it up some. I have no light on the top and have found that placing a couple of wet sponges on the screen top does wonders for the humidity. And then the screen is covered by a towel.
So what am I missing? Thanks
