plants are like 5-10 bucks
and it doesnt need to be a perfect barrier. just enough to block the view. in other words if it doesnt fit perfectly and you have crickets running back and forth you are fine.
also the reason everyone is very into you about this is that chams can actually die...
no...i thought it was implied. however you are right I should have stated where I got it.
So: Lowes, Mission Valley, San Diego, California, United States of America, North America, Earth, Solar System, Milky Way, the Universe :p:p:p
first off i wasnt paying attention when i bought it. didnt realize it wasnt wired. when i found out it wasnt i figured id try to do it myself.
anyways as far as i can tell everything is right and the bulbs are brand new. im gonna try a few things but then i am returning it to lowes...
i will fiddle with some things but the fixture may be bad.
if anyone else has any ideas please let me know. other wise im gonna return it tomorrow if i have no luck.
