You're going to want a photo period of 12 hours on and 12 hours off.

You can use a red, blue or black light for night time feeding / viewing.

A few people use light bulbs for heat. I would reccomend heat tape / cable or a heat panel.

In addition to Julians post, I'd like to suggest a website that was recommended to me by a trusted friend (also a chondro keeper). It's www.naturallighting.com....Hope this helps!!!

Best wishes,
Max
