Hey, I have had one albino pacman for a few years and I recently got another small one. I normally used tank lids with incadescent bulbs which kept my temperature in the mid 70s but I recently switched to a 48" dual flourescent shop light because I have so many tanks in my room. I have plant/aquairum bulbs in it but the lamp puts out no heat and my tanks are staying at about 72 degrees. I really didn't wanna add another light but is there a special bulb I could add to the fixture to raise my temp or something? I have under tank heaters I could use but I fear burnin my lil frog. I also tried covering a large portion of the top of tank to keep humidity warmer but thats not workin out either. Its like -20 here in nebraska so keeping the house warm is pretty difficult. I'd appreciate help thanks
