Lighting wasn't good etc etc but I am a very very serious perfectionist and thus I pick and chose very carefully the things I care about lol... Anyway
DHGate 12arm hydrobase + hydrobrick dry MP yeah... My FC-188 got freaking DELAYED when getting sent out so it's not here yet sadly... I like this set-up better than my d020 so using it for now.
Typically would be dry but yeah, I finally went to the dr and they put me on antibiotics so I'm going to avoid irritation as much as I can.
edit:
also, I think it was the dimmer or extension that was causing the issue. It's definitely not the house, and the new plug/etc I got today works perfectly. I noticed the old one going nuts shortly after I had the new one heated up on a different outlet so that just solved it pretty quickly.
edit2:
Here's a decent pic of my dogpack at least. idk what the refractions are but they're dope and were done on purpose.
