Our electricity bill was quite high this quarter and the vivarium has been the only new addition during this time, I'm just trying to save us some money if possible.

Thanks for your time.
That's weird...my 12x12x18 rainforest kit came with a compact top that only fits one bulb, did you buy yours separately?

Currently I'm using a compact top (medium) on my 18x18x24 with two exo terra compact bulbs, a 2.0 and 5.0 during the day and two night glo moonlight bulbs at night and I haven't heard anything from my dad about electricity yet so...>>

On my 12x12x18 I have a Golden Pothos and a Snake Plant and plan on using an Exo Terra 5.0 during the day and a Night Glo at night. I haven't had any light on the plants except the sun that filters in through my window since I put the viv together last week and the plants look great so...Idk about keeping them healthy, I don't have a green thumb.
