85 is considered the top out temp for adult Pacman Frogs, but it is fine to occationally raise the temps to 87 for an hour or 2. You can shut off all heat sources if the temp in the tank is at the correct level. You can also buy cooling fans that are made from computer fans to pull hot air and humidity out of the enclosure. If you have a hygrotherm or another unit to regulate the climate it will turn the fans on to cool the tank as well as heat units and humidity units.
