UTH fail?
So I'm really frustrated with my UTH. Its a zoo med, and while it gets the very center of the pad to the 80 degrees I want it to /right/ on top of the substrate. It only raises the ambient temps, and temps away from the center to maybe 71-72 degrees. even with the top covered, and the back and sides insulated with foam board I've ended up having to put another heat lamp on that side to help it out a little bit. I got real tired of him being so cold on that side, even when his hide is sitting right on top of the center of the pad. But that heat lamp turns off at about 9pm so he can have the whole night/day cycle thing. (He usually spends the night on the hot side anyways)
Other than that the tank is fine, hot side stays a consistant 90-91 degrees, I mist daily to keep his humidity up. That darn UTH is the really the only thing thats giving me issues here. Does anyone else have an issue with these things? Or did I just get one that was too small despite it saying it was for a 20g tank?
