Yay so I got my first enclosure in this evening and i spent the last 30 minutes setting it up. I hope i'm doing it right...we'll see.

Here's the setup:


Of course, it's got 3 more tubs, I'm just trying to get the temps straightened out right now.

Here's the thermostat:


The temp on the thermostat is set at 93 Degrees.

Next, I plugged in the flexwatt to the thermostat. The flexwatt does not just sit right on top of the shelf, it's acctually about a 1/8" down below the tub.

Next, I put the Thermostat probe on top of the tape. The probe is not secure yet. I will secure it once i know everything will work out right.



On the second shelf from the bottom, I put my acurite thermometer, and I used the self adhesive probe and just stuck it right on the bottom for the best possible read. I will probably end up putting another peice of tape on it for extra security so it won't get moved around, and then some substrate on top of it.



I'm letting the temps settle in. right now on the hot side, the thermometer is reading 89.2. If it doesn't go any higher, I assume I just need to bump the temp up on the thermostat right?

the cool side is reading 81.9 and my humidity is reading 59. 59% is just the ambient humidity inside my room, so I dunno how i'll get it down a little.

Anyways, please give some feedback on this. It's my first time setting up a rack, using Flexwatt, using a thermostat...I just want to make sure it's done right so I can avoid problems. Thanks!!
