I want the Vision CB-70 racks to turn on and off, to cool down and come back on at set times.

I have the power center in place for cutting the heat to the cable on and off for cool down and heating times...but how do I make sure that the heat never goes over 95 in the tubs?

If I put on a thermosat, when it turns off for the cool down period, it might get too cold.

Suggestions? Crying or Very sad

I'm not sure I completely understand your question. Are you trying to simulate a "night time" drop?

Yep, but I don't want the night time drop to get too cold. Embarassed

Take a look at the Helix thermostat. They sell a "night-time drop" module for it that does exactly what you're looking for. Wink

I did a quick research and it appears that the Helix is complicated and needs additional items purchased with it in order for it to work.

I need quick and simple and my research lead me to Big Apple's Herp Power Proportional Thermostat that has everything built in one thermosat.

It only has one outlet, but that "con" is easily resolved by plugging it into a surge control power cord and ensuring I never go over the limit of wattage allowed. Smile

I just got though lugging two Jason Jungles up a flight of stairs, transferring snakes from the tubs they were in..to the racks. Disinfecting everything etc...and now am defrosting some small rats because my supply is low...

I am not very clear right now, after I get some sleep.... Laughing Laughing

WHY didn't I say night drop?? oh lord! Embarassed
