Would love it to look like your tank though, it is stunning with those lights.

I am no lighting expert, but the lights I was using would slowly beat the humidity out of the terrarium over several hours. They produced little to no heat, but whatever it was about them was drink the air out quick.

The LED lights cost more up front, but the cost savings in Electricity/Energy makes up for it. The LED lights can cause the colors in the terrarium to appear my natural and not as washed out as well.

But like I said they are costly. I was lucky in finding these for the price i did. Joshs Frogs has them for sale on their website but for $89. In my opinion it is worth it.


Bill,

I will get a build thread going for his tank. His is a small 29 Gallon Aquarium so it won't be bigger, but I am using his build to test out a new method I want to try on the background. Once I am done with his I will start on My Dart tank. It is a 40 Gallon long tank.. I think it is 36 inches long, 18 Inches Deep, and 16 Inches tall.
