    t5 lights

    T-5 just describes the diameter of the bulb (t-5's are 5/8", t-8's are 8/8 or 1" diameter). From what i understand, t-5's are more energy efficient, but have about the same light output as t-8's. I have used t-5's (6500K) as supplemental lighting for plants in my cages. For the UVB i rely...

    Anyone know an easy way to keep automister water warm?

    I haven't bought one yet, but in the link in my previous post Dave Weldon provided some data on water temperature variations with water flow rate and he got approximately a 90F outlet temp when flowing at 1/4pint/minute.
