Can anyone think of anything else I might need?

My 1st post. I'm mainly interested in feedback on how I can improve their habitat. If there are any glaring errors on my part please let me know. I've only had Geckos for about 4 months. Prior to that I had a Chameleon, so this is just about 180 degrees different as far as their habitats go.
Thanks in advance for the insight.

First photo is of the overall habitat. Its a 20 gallon tank with two ++++++++ hides and the hardening substrate. The left side of the tank is cooler inside the moist hid and has a basking spot on top. The right side hide has no direct light but there is a heating pad under the tank. It stays around 75-80 degrees in there and is by far the favorite hangout in the habitat.

Second is the family. I have 1 male and 2 females. The males is on the right, and the two females on the left.

Third is the maoist hide. I used non-toxic silicone to make a tight seal on the bottom of the hide to the glass bottom of the tank. Its water tight and has been filled with moss from ++++++++ as swell as a 1/4 cup of water.

Eventually I'd like to add a water feature (in the moist hide) to provide, recycle and filter the water.

Feedback is greatly appreciated. I mastered the humid habitat for my Chameleon and had a nice autonomous terrarium. Now I'm looking to do the same here. If anyone has suggestions on heating I'd love to hear about it. I'm using the heating pad as well as the IR bulb as my only heating sources. I'm having a difficult time getting the tank to above 75 degrees. The ambient air in my warm hide is 78.2 degrees but I'd like to get it up to 80 at the least. The basking spot is about 80-85 degrees, depending on the ambient air in the house. The moist hide keeps 68-70 consistently.

First of all get 1 or 2 more tanks. Never keep the male with the females if you don't want the females stressed or being mated with all the time. Next toss that dirt and use tile for the floor. They eat the dirt when they are feeding and could cause a blockage leading to death. Next the moist hide should be on the warm side and should be at least 95° F inside. It's also nice for them to have a dry hide on the warm side too. The cool side should be about 75° F and they should also have a hide there too. Just read a few care sheets and you have to get that male away from the females.

That tank looks awesome! My main concern would be the number of hides. I usually recommend that all leos have at least three hides, one warm, one cool, one moist. So they can pick and choose where they want to be with the temperature and humidity that's right for them. I also recommend that groups of leos have two warm and two cool hides so they can get away from the other leos if they want or need to and/or still regulate their temperatures correctly if they are bullied and can't get into the best hide for them.

A 20L will be great as they grow but once they are adults you may find it is a bit small for three.

Good luck with them and awesome naturalistic look!!
