Hi all
I am looking at setting up the mother of all turtle tanks, (aquarium 6ft x 2ft x 3ft) and have always loved the look that metal halide lights give. but being an aquarium virgin i know nothing about setting them up (yes, I know what they cost), is there any dramas with them being used with reptiles? How often do you need to replace the bulbs? what wattage would I need for a water depth of 2ft? Would I need more than one or one and maybe a fluro?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks everybody
