Thanks guys!!! I was more comfortable with the 84 anyways. I'm gonna go turn it back down a degree. She just spends all her time on the cool side. So I wanted it perfect.

I figured I was just maybe losing a degree through the newspaper. Its only 1 or 2 sheets thick though so maybe not.

I definetley recommend the helix. Haven't tried the herpstat but they're the same thing temp controlling wise.

Now to order another one for the hot side!! And use the johnson for an oil heater during the winter.

Thanks for the replies fellas!
