Thermostats

Hi Guys,

got a new enclosure all sorted out this weekend (i'll post pics tomorrow) but with this set up I'm gonna need a thermostat (last enclosure was glass and enough heat escaped not to warrant one)

What's the best option? A probe or Microclimate type?

Enclosure is 1200x700x500 timber, glass front and running a 75watt heat lamp and UV Tube as day night cycle.

A diamond lives in this setup.

Cheers in Advance

A microclimate B1 thermostat is the best option. It is a dimmerstat so you want blow globes like they are going out of fashion. All microclimates have a seperate temperature probe, which also happens to be waterproof so it won't rust in humid enclosures. Check out the link below.
