Hello, everyone
After a disastrous attempt at starting up an aquarium I've decided to use the 55 gallon tank I bought as a CP terrarium instead. I will put in mainly Mexican pings, Utrics, Byblis Linifolia, a few Sundews, and maybe one or two tropical pitcher plants. I'd like to know though, if flourecent bulbs (the kind that have UV rays) used for reptiles are suitable for these plants? (are they too harsh or not strong enough?) I don't really care if they're more expensive than regular grow lights I just want to know if they're good to use with the plants I want to put in the tank. The brand I'm planning on using is called Super UV daylight. The item desciption says it has 3% UVB and is "excellent for plant growth in vivariums".
All info is greatly appreciated, Thanks
