I have a 4ft tube across the middle and a heat light at one end.

[Miss B]

From memory, the tube itself was $20 and the fluro fitting was $25.

[Mrs I]

Yeah I think the tube was 2 foot... considering the tank is 4.5 foot, we actually should have got a 4 foot tube. Doesn't matter either way, as we ditched the tube.

Mrs I that enclosure looks amazing! :shock:

 

[lilmissrazz]

ok so with a tube ill need no additional lighting or heating?? is this right??

 

[Miss B]

You'll still need a heat light. The tube is for UV only.

Just a standard 100 watt reflector globe for heat?? or more??
