For those who just want the numbers:
Water temp: 74 - 78 F
Air Temp (overall) 82 F
Air temp basking area: 90 - 95 F
Humidity: 30 - 75%
Lights on time: 10 - 14 hours daily
Moonlight lights intensity at night ; 25 - 40 Watts
Also use a ceramic heat emitter on the basking area at day and night to keep that area consistent. Don't worry they will rest at night and wil only bask if it has UV-A and not just heat. Also the ceramic heater will help or eliminate the need of a water heater.
Use digital instruments too as the analogs are not calibrated to be this precise.
Set up a small fan also aimed at the top of the tank so that the air passes over the tank but don't aim it into the tank. Just the airflow over top will create a gentle breeze to help keep the air fresh as well as make the air temps and humidity more uniform.
