I have a PVC tank with a dhp lamp on a dimming thermostat, it says that the bulb is almost always blasting at full to keep the hot side at 92 and it might be killing my humidity. I have the reptichip coco husk flooring which I put in on Monday and Ive had to churn it and pour tons of water in the corners and do a lot of heavy misting. I have foil tape covering the top and the bottom vents. Does anyone have any advice for keeping the heat trapped so my lamp isn't working so hard or humidity tips. I don't know if I need to get another lamp to help it or not any advice is appreciated.

My tank has trouble keeping humidity up I have a PVC tank with reptichip brand of flooring and have foil tape covering the mesh top and some bottom vents. I've had to churn the stuff a couple times since putting it in on Monday and did a bunch of heavy misting and corner pouring to let the flooring soak it up. I've read that my dhp lamp being on full blast with the dimming thermostat can dry out humidity. Does anyone have any tips for me on how to keep the heat from leaking so my dhp works less hard to keep it warm and humidity tips
