    Double checking settings, does it sound good?

    Ok I have 3 20g long tanks, screen top with foil over it (thx argentra for the instructions)... I use care fresh for bedding, I bought six bowls for hides 2 for each tank.
    I have 3 sides covered in black foam board
    During the day temp on warm side is 92 at night it is 88, cool side during the day is 83 at night 79, I seem to be running constant humidity of 55%.....

    Just want to make sure i got everything in check here......

    Sounds great... except you don't need lower temps at night. Unless you're breeding them, the temps should remain constant.

    Otherwise, you seem good to go.

    Night drops aren't needed unless you're breeding. That being said, as long as it stays in the ranges you quoted you will be just fine!

    PS, a thermostat is a wise investment

    I would not use Carefresh, it is extremely dusty and can promote respiratory irritation and possibly infection. Carefresh Ultra would be better, as would Aspen, Cypress mulch and newspaper.
