How much floor space does your mat use and how hot is your room it is kept in? I don't measure my cool end temps of my corns so I wouldn't know if mine was at 23 or 18 or something else, you are getting a 5 deg variation and I would have thought that would have been ok but if you can adjust things to get a bigger difference then that can only be a good thing |

And you using a stat and measuring the hot end in contact with the mat next to the stat probe? Xxx |

23 isn't so bad... during the warmest months here I was putting 2x 1L soda bottles full of water into the freezer then placing them on top of my tank at the 'cold end'.
its a lot of schlepping but it did the job...

How big is your enclosure and how are you heating it? |
