I would be afraid it would make it too warm and would dry it out three times as fast. But there's no harm in trying. Check the temp every five minutes or so and if you see its over (for heat) or under (for humidity) than air on the side of caution using all three ^^

Hey Brittany,
It's about to be summer here (I don't know if you remember that we live pretty close to each other) and you shouldn't need all of them. Last summer my tank got up to almost 90 inside, even with the AC inside being set at 73 degrees.
How large are the heating pads? Are Dwebble and Rockwall still in a ten gallon?
You may need to change your gauges because all of that for a smaller tank sounds like a lot.
