Hey guys I'm new to the forums and relatively new to CP's. I currently have two mini bogs created, but I am looking to make a terrarium for some neps. I am probably going to buy a 20 gallon tank that is 3 feet wide and like a foot or foot and a half tall...not sure on the exact dimensions. Anyways, lighting is my main issue...at my local home depot they carry the correct type of flourescents that I will be needing, but I'm not sure what to do about the fixtures. Do most of you guys make a custom hood and mount the fixture on the inside top of the hood? Or possibly you suspend it above the tank somehow? I really have no idea how I am going to light this thing yet so I am open to suggestions. Also, would 5000K or like 6100K be better for neps or would it not matter? Then, is there a point when there is too much lighting? Like how many flourescent tubes would I need for a 20 gallon tank? And finally, can anyone suggest some noob neps for me since I am just starting out?
Thanks for any replies!!
