(1500 watts)that was meant to work with these types of heaters,(anything that has a fan motor needs an "on/off" type control rather than pulse,or rheostat.)...actually,when my schedule permits,I use the timer method combined with the dial thermostat on the unit.(partially because it forces me to actually go in and check on ambient,and specific spot temps.daily.)I use the heaters for total control,and usually the only secondary heat source is a strip of flex-watt that runs 24-7 durring the colder months,underneath every stack of cages that actually sit on the (concrete)floor,the cages higher in the stack get no substrate heat until later,towards the end of cycling,or somebody ovulates.( ) I usually shoot for between 73/88 for NTL/DTH for a period of three months.I'm always looking for better ways to get the best results,but now I avoid sudden,or drastic alterations in the "system".(*lol*) I know some people say "no need to cycle",but I swear by it!
