When the tank reaches the right temp, does it keep it at that temp at all times, like if it lowers does it make it higher?

#

So I set it to 89

#

When it reaches 89 will it keep it there

#

Say it lowers, does it just heat it back up again?

civic parcel
#

Do you have a dimmer switch or dimmer dome

fast pawn
#

I don’t think so

#

Will it still work

#

It’s connected to the bulbs

civic parcel
#

It will just turn it completely off then if it gets above set temp

#

Tis why we mentioned getting a dimmer switch or dome to mitigate that

fast pawn
#

Oh

#

Dang it

#

Do they have them at petsmart

#

What do I do now

#

I mean, it’s possible the dome is a dimmer

#

But idk

#

Let’s hope

#

It doesn’t turn it off

#

Just tested

fast pawn
#

I tested it

#

I changed it to the temp that it was in there and it just stopped heating it

#

Lights stayed on

#

i know for a fact on/offs turn them off when it gets too hot becasue that's literally how they function

fast pawn
#

So I changed it to 82

#

It got to 82

#

And it didn’t turn it off

civic parcel
#

that's why it's named that way. yeh if it get's HOTTER

#

not the exact temp

fast pawn
#

Oooooou

civic parcel
#

if it goes to like 83 for example

#

it'll turn off

fast pawn
#

I don’t thing it ever gets above 89 in there

civic parcel
#

and turn back on. and possibly turn off again if it decides to strobe

#

I just changed it to 89 so it won’t turn off and I’m gonna get a dimmer off of Amazon

#

I didn’t think abt that

civic parcel
#

if you just want the switch and not a new dome

fast pawn
#

So how do I use it

#

Will it dim on its own

civic parcel
#

you plug your dome into it > dome into thermostat > thermostat into timer / powerstrip / outlet

#

you manually dim it

fast pawn
#

Ok

civic parcel
#

so you adjust it to where it will keep your temps / only give the bulb enough power to keep it at say 94 and not do the on/off stuff

fast pawn
#

How do I know when it’s at enough power

civic parcel
#

that'll be something you have test on your own as everyone's external factors that affect heating are different
