Aside from this one incident it has worked fantastic for me. The water gets rid of the hot spots of the heat mat and the thermostat is reasonably accurate. With that being said, the thermal gradients of a colder room but warm t enclosures is much greater than simply heating the room. I think the solution to my setup is just to tape the thermometer in place. It should help to get a more accurate reading while keeping the thermometer from moving as well.</p></blockquote><p></p>
