Lighting

Thanks for the reply Bucknetbucky, I ended up going with the 13 watt bulb. Works good and gives off no heat which is what I was aiming for.. I really like the sound of your setup and your enclosure looks really nice (seen the pictures in your other thread you started), I was wondering if you could put a picture of the top of your tank so I can see what and how you have the lights on there.

For sure I can get you a pic. The picture in the other thread only had the one LED wired up, I will be wiring the second tonight so as soon as that is done I will get the pic. I will also post a photo of the LED's themselves so that you can see what they are as well.

Sounds good, and thanks again.

Well here are the pics ... sorry I was late I had some things going on that I needed to take care of.

The LED setup ....




And the lights and supply on the top of the tank .. (Still have to cut the hole for the LED on the right lol)


If you need anything else just let me know.

Thanks Bucknetbucky, I will more then likely rig up something similar after Christmas.

You can use additional lighting as long as it does not heat up tank above the frog's temperature parameters. For observation daylight type bulbs are fine. If there are natural plants; then use bulbs rated at around 6K Kelvin color.
