Hello,
I bought my first terrarium a few days ago.
50cm width, 50cm height and an awesome 160 cm in length. 400 liter / 105 gallon volume. \o/
It’s gonna be a greenhouse style terrarium, just pots it large square water tray (for at least 2 pots each row).

My biggest problem currently is the lighting...
I’m planning on buying a 58 watt dual fitting which fits perfectly over the terrarium.
And I’m also taping the backside and the 2 sides with a reflective material.
My questions:
1) Are 2 GroLux 58 watt lights enough over the terrarium? Or should I use 3 or even 4?
2) Can too much (artificial) light harm the plants?
Any other information about this subject I should know is also appreciated.
