I'm setting up a new (well, not really new, I've had the tank for a while) tank to grow some Neps and Pings in and I have a few questions regarding lighting:
1) It will be illuminated by two 18 inch flourescent tubes, 15 watts each (I think that's what they are). I have to get new tubes for the fixtures and I'm wondering if I should just go with all cool white like my other terrariums or experiment with some Gro-Lux tubes. Where do you guys buy Gro-Lux? Are they worth it? I think I just like the purple hue! Haha!
2) I do believe that this will be enough light for the size tank that it is, but I'd like some opinions. Will 30 watts of flourescent lighting be enough for a 5 gallon tank?
