bulbs of what Intensity?

What bulbs must I have in a 45x45x60cm terrarium?
I got Daylight 15W and Night Glo 15W and I think they don't shine the terrarium too much... It's for a milk frog (tree frogs maybe don't need too much light...)

That depends on your lighting needs and the frog/s you keep inside terrarium. Do you have live plants that require more light? Are you using lights as part of your terrarium warming? Also have to consider some frogs (i.e. Pacman albino's) eyes are susceptible to bright light. So describe a bit your terrarium and maybe that helps to narrow down some responses. Have a nice day !

I got live plants and a milk frog. I got a daylight neodymium 15W and heat mat to get a good temperature. But I wanna see the vivarium well. Actually, in the day hours I see it well, but at night not (and milk frogs are nocturnal). I don't know if moonlight gotta light too much . I don't wanna disturb the frog you know? That's the reason of my question. Should I buy bulbs of more Wts?

If you want more light would recommend replacing the daylight bulb to a higher wattage. How high will be determined by your light fixture or dome maximum watts capacity and your light requirements for observations.

If capable, maybe you want to try to go up one step to 25 watts. If you still want more light then trade bulb for a 40 watt; but only if your light fixture will handle it.

Moonlights (black bulbs) barely give light and replacing it for higher wattage will probably not change much visually. Buena suerte !

Daylight I think is enough. Milk frog doesn't move in the morning so I won't change it. but I don't see almost the vivarium in the darkness hours. I guess if I buy 50W I will see well the frog moving .

Well if you want to see the frog at night; just replace the moonlight with a red bulb of 15 or 25 watts. The higher watt moonlight could reverse your temperature gradient to point where night is warmer than cooler.

But I think red bulb isn't beautiful ...moonlight is so real....In addition, red bulb produces more heat no? And if I bought a 26W moonlight?
