how many heat sources do you use to keep ambient temps and the warm side steady..(i.e. UTH w/ heat lamp)

Mount a UTH on underside of the tank at the warmside. Set your thermostat to 92-4F with a probe attached on the glass in side the tank directly above the UTH.

Mount/place a Ceramic Heat Emitter (CHE) above the wire mesh of the tank for your cool side/ambient temp. Set your thermostat to 82-4F measured by a probe attached to a side glass pane about 2 inches above the substrate inside the tank.

See the sticky on glass tank setup for a picture of the wire mesh with hole in it etc:

Put your two hides directly above/below the heat sources.

This is what I did and it worked really well ( until I bought a tub setup.)

Good Luck.
