Thermostat reviews?

I'm using Helix t-stats now, got 4 of them a while back, good quality but no night drop. I'm thinking to use then for the heat mats, and add VE-300's to regulate the RHP's. I presume I don't want to drop the heat mats at night too, just the ambient temps?

good question...i have done it that way with other cages when i was using a RHP, and it worked well for me.

as it stands now with my AP's having only the belly heat, i'm using VE-300's for my carpets and my "ambient" seems to hold steady in the upper 70's (kind of room temp) and the cycles from the VE-300's creates the temps that i need for my gradients (both temporal and spatial).
