When I first got into balls I did get a 55g tank (that is why I asked). I had it split in half and had one ball on each side, but when I found how much better they ate in tubs I never went back. I also admit I went and spent the money on 2 johnsons. I now also have a herpstat and am fighting the urge to get a herpstat pro......OH I SO want one of those
Well yeah you will need a heat gun and thermometers. I guess I didn't really take that into account. Either way, a thermometer and hydrometer together is $15 (ac-urite). I put the dimmer on my list because the whole point was to prove that you can indeed do a setup for under $100. Adding a thermostat would put you over, but is preferred. If people are on a tight budget, its better they have something to regulate the heat.
