A bit in the dark

[Vort]

Honestly, I am going for the azureus in the 20 high, I doubt
I can get 2 frogs, and even if my budget could allow, I wouldn't know how to obtain a mated pair - there is a breeder in Greensboro I will attempt to get over there once the setup is complete.

You should be able to get a couple of babies for $35-$40 each. If not get one, let it grow up, ID the sex and then get the opposite sex later on.

Okay, I'll probably buy one, and get a second later - as for light, I was probably going to get a clamp lamp and full spectrum bulb from home depot, that would be fine, yes?

I run two cfl 5500K bulbs on my 15 gallon vertical to get enough light to the bottom so it might depend on your build and plants.
My 20 long runs 1 T8 florescent tube and 2 cfl 5500K bulbs and the plants do well.

You can get away with one if the plants you place lower only need lower light provided.

The lighting is more for the plants life, although it also should be timed to give a day and night cycle.

Well, I can't use a tube - and must I have so much light? I don't even use T5s for my reef (though I probably should...). Will a simple lamp and full-spectrum bulb not suffice?

[DonLisk]

Only way to know is try it. Like I said, it depends the lighting needs of the plants you select and then where you place them in the vivarium.

I'm getting the 20 gallon high pack from Josh's frogs, if that helps.
