Tubs must be setup wrong. The cool side on mine get more than a couple degrees above room temps. Try covering some of your holes, or change the position of your ventilation.

Sorry I wrote that the wrong way. I meant you must have done something wrong so that the coldest side of the tub is the same as room temperature. None of my enclosures or tubs have a cool side the same as room temperature. They are either a couple or several degrees higher. I actually have a easier time controlling ambient temps inside a tub than I do in my enclosures.
