I would recommend the LED. They cost more, but last a LOT longer, make the tank look great, and use less energy! If you go with the one from amazon I would take the bulb and hood you have back to the pet store and return it. If they ask why tell them you were advised to buy the wrong equipment and you are correcting their error.

Thanks so much for the links... I will have to look at them in the morning to make a decision. Dh will be thrilled that I have to buy more stuff lol.

I can all but guarantee your plants and frog will love you for it though. If you don't get a new bulb. Even the cheaper CFL is better than what you have. If you don't change the bulb all your plants will slowly wilt away and die. Then you will need a bulb and more plants.

I know you suggested I perhaps switch over to Hydei flies, and I guess if I was going to order a light it might be a good time to consider it now..... except that it's still so hot I will for sure have to order express which is more $$. I have a couple questions though.... do I NEED to switch over now or any time soon, or can I just keep feeding the M. ones? Allowing to space out more purchases makes it easier to keep DH happy.... I did want to know though.... you mentioned that they used less food. Could you elaborate on that?
