plant lighting

[chansman]

Do any of you use special lighting for the live plants inside of the caging? The enclosure will be in a corner with windows adjacent on each wall so there will be natural light.

I always recommend a double fixture that contains a UVB bulb as well as a 6.5k daylight bulb for all enclosures, especially ones with plants. Another great addition to your cage lighting would also be a Jungle Dawn LED as they are prefer for plant growth.

should be fine with any 6500k bulb. I couldnt find 6500k t5's anywhere by me except a hydroponics store that sold 6400k plant bulbs for 15$

LYR jungle dawn is supposedly another great one

Well, I have planted freshwater angelfish aquariums right now so I'm good to go then.
