adilevi424 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 hi all I am growing nepenthes for two years (mostly lowlands). and I decided to expand my collection so i built this Terrarium (L-110 cm,w-80,h-100).basically I need help with the lights I don't know what to choose( metal\ t-5\ hps ) I will appreciate any advice . for scaling a picture from the building this is the cooling system still not finished (haven't done the wiring,and I got two more welding) The cold plate that should be inside WHAT lights should I put ? I'm thinking maybe putting metal halide 250 or 400 I will appreciate any advice Adi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold3nku5h Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Thats crazy that you made it out of styrofoam, or am i seeing things? I bet you can lift that with one hand. Also, how did that work out, and are you going to paint it, i bet the white is good enough for reflection. Plus what type of light did you go with, i would have suggested a t5, as they are ALOT cheaper, and easier to mount and run, plus not as much heat.
