My 40 watt house bulb kept the tank around 74-76. I see you put that they're to be kept at the same as pacs so I just put a 60 watt bulb in there this should keep it where is suppose to be.
    50 watts would be best for heat bulbs, but I don't know about house bulbs. It will probably be fine. Watch the temps. I think you don't want to go higher than 80 with Tomato frogs. I'm not entirely sure of their range I just remember reading somewhere that they are farely close to Pacs in climate.

    I seen a post by Kurt, I think it was him. He said he keeps his in the mid 70s range so the 40 watt bulb I have is perfect keeps the tank at 76.

    Good. I would follow Kurt's setup and climate.

    So far I have been and so far so good! This tomato is an excellent eater very aggressive and eats more then my pacman! Which I didn't think was possible. I keep the tank heavily misted and
    temps are mid 70s . I have him in a 10 gallon currently, but plan on getting another tomato so I can use this 20 gallong I've been waiting to use! =)

    Sounds good. Sometimes Pacs won't eat a lot for periods of time and then all of a sudden their huge appetite returns.

    I'm really glad you told me that my pacman wasn't eating for a few days and I've been worried.
