Question about lighting ;D

S1NPLYS1K Feb 05, 2005 03:04 AM

Hey guys!! Haven't been on here in a bit ;D anywayz...quick question about a lighting problem...my light blew and i bought new 75 watt exotera bulb...it's pretty dull compared to the old one, less radient and seems to put out less heat...the leo's have been out basically underneath the light for a good portion of the day...and hiding much less...

anyone got any suggestions on what brand for a new light? it's a 20 gal. tank if that matters ;D

THANKS!

What about a small heat emitter? Use that in conjunction with a clay pot bottom to asorb the heat woud make an excelent basking spot.. Have you thought of using any under tank heating?

I just use regular household bulbs of the appropriate wattage. They are cheaper and work just fine.
