Thread: Compact lighting

  1. #1

    Default Compact lighting

    hey all
    i have 2 green tree frogs and a couple plants in my aquarium at home.
    its only around foot wide, the aquarium, but only half is planted anyway.
    Im looking for a compact light to grow the plants and also for the frogs themselves.
    what do you recommend?
    Where can i buy it from?

    Thanks

    Maybe check out some of the hardware stores near you. I've gotten some cheap CFL bulbs that were rated for "daylight" (around 5000-6500K temperature) this way. They aren't the brightest or most effective, but they do in a pinch for a not-too-tall grow out or frog tank.

    Check to see if any pet stores near you sell the reptiglo 2.0 compact bulb. It's uva/uvb and made for growing live plants in a terrarium and preventing metabolic bone disease. I use them in all my terrariums with live plants.
