Around what wattage of CFL bulbs would be required to light this setup well?
I'm looking at getting a 25 Watt Indoor Sunshine ® Full Spectrum Multi-Phosphor CFL Bulb

Those with experience with these bulbs will two of these be too bright for a 18x18x24?

Two will be good for this. I actually use one 24 watt CFL above the bromeliads and then just the red night light in my 18x18x24 but I think with the plants yours doings, I would go for two.

I am not great with frogs but I have a whites and soon to get another. I didnt notice if you said you were buying these, but you also need a themometer (digital is best) and a hydrometer. I wish I could find a digital one of those.

For the past 6 months I have had my Whites, he seems pretty easy. Good luck.

Check Lowe's or Home Depot--a hort friend of mine said they carried some and I was in there Sunday and sure enough they have digital thermo/hygrometers.

Hey guys,

I've gotten some decent work on my background. I'm wanting to use silicone to attach the cocofiber to the background. I understand the soil needs to be 100% dry in order for the silicone to bond.

My soil has been sitting out in a thin layer under a fan for about 8 hours now and still isn't anywhere near dry.

Anyone have tips to speed this process up?

Got my lights from Todd over at lightyourreptiles.com yesterday. I decided to go with a 25 Watt Indoor Sunshine and a 14 Watt Day LED. These things are BRIGHT! The plants will love them. It's hard to tell just how bright they are in that picture but they light up my room. The color of the light looks just like sun shining through the windows. These things are awesome. Now I'm just waiting on the ABG mix and the plants from Josh's Frogs. Once I get the substrate all set up and have the plants in hand I should be able to better visualize how I want to set-up my drift wood.
