Good points, and thanks for the info on the halogens. To the
eye, they seem "warmer" (yellower) than the CF. We in the pdf world
have a constant issue with lighting our vivs. The amount of light
required to keep the plants alive (surprisingly, moss requires a LOT of
light) usually generates a lot of heat. The frogs are so heat
sensitive that this is a bad thing. When CF lights came on the scene
for saltwater and freshwater tanks, a few people tried and loved them.
But, theyre a bit expensive unless you put them together yourself.
Then, you need a fan, an enclosure/hood/canopy etc. You get the idea.
Anyway, my point is that these CF's are available at home depot
fairly cheaply, they seem to do a good job (several broms are producing
pups for me right now and theyve got great color to them). So, in my
infinite wisdom/ignorance, I thought that Id give them a try on this
(klemmeri) viv. So far, so good, though Ive no comparison to base that
on. Anyway, I promise pics this weekend.
BTW, do your klem's get the "crazies" sometimes? I mean, every
once in a while, mine will just feel the need to run around the viv,
just like a cat sometimes does!? They dont seem agitated in a negative
way, just bursting with energy! Its pretty hilarious....
