I use a Reptisun 10.0 uvb and a duro-test vitalite. Both are full spectrum, about 5500k color temperature. I don't know what the brightness rating is for either. But at worst, if lighting is insufficient, I would expect the broms to lose color or stay green, not wither and die.

I used to mist the enclosure often, but I've been cutting back for fear of contributing to rot.
The tank has a false bottom consisting of a 2.5" layer of hydroton. Drainage should be sufficient, but from what I've learned, some neos shouldn't be planted in moist soil at all. So I may mount all of them from now on.

Yes, air flow is something I have neglected. Will look into a fan setup - do you have any suggestions on where to place the fan and where to direct the flow?
Thanks for the help.

However 2 exo terra 15watt 2.0s will put you closer to 2200lumens at the proper spectrum for plant growth, which should be fine... 70-80% humidity for broms is better, a light daily watering can substitute this.
Good Drainage, and air circulation are a must.. An improper heat gradient Creates stagnant air, a simple computer fan wired off a 9-10 volt ac adaptor works great for this..
Either bad drainage or stagnant air will cause rot.
