For what ever reason, I didn't have the option to edit my post. Figured I would give more info cause now I am all paranoid I am doing it wrong.

The lights are 2 26watt CF style bulbs. One is the Exo Terra Full Spectrum one for promoting plant growth. The other is the UVB bulb for tropical (2.0 I think?) The heath bulbs are both ZooMed, a 50W Red during the day and a 50W night blue one for after hours.

At this point though, I have read through about 50 forum posts and will be off to the hardware store tomorrow to get the materials for the false bottom made with egg crate. Going off the plans from - http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...se-bottom.html. (Bill's sticky was epic!) It looks like Bill advises 2-3in diameter PVC for the couplings. Do you think 1.5 in would work? I have a pair of PVC cutters, that say they can cut up to 2 in, but it is much easier with a smaller diameter. Last question based on the http://www.frogforum.net/vivarium-te...se-bottom.html build. Do you put anything in between the bottom and the egg crate such as gravel or hydroballs? I would think that you would need to provide insulation, and to make it look a little better from the front?

Thanks again! Love this forum.
