Hi all,

More questions from me :P

I obviously need to purchase a heat mat and was told I couldn't put it underneath my Vivarium due to having a false bottom (I assume this would heat up the water and cause problems?) so I was wondering if it would be ok to have it mounted to the bank of the tank? The back has a silicone layer and a great stuff layer (which is coated with more silicone and Tree Fern). I am looking at buying the Exo Terra Rainforest Heat wave mat.

I will be getting little to no heat from my lighting (LED Flood for Daylight and LED strip for moonlight) so the heat mat and room temp will be the only source of heating. How would I achieve the slight drop in temperature during the moonlight hours without a thermostat? (They are too expensive for my budget so any cheaper options would be great).
