Re: Terrariums - where to get?

From: Lester Kallus <lkallus at earthlink.net> on 1997.11.08 at 18:22:52(1599) Well after totally failing to find a pre-fab terrarium with strong lighting, I managed to find a quadruple light fixture for a 36 x 18 tank. The fixture allows a total of 4 twenty watt bulbs. Assuming that the tank I put it on isn't very deep, I predict that 80 watts of lighting will be adequate. It'll just barely come into budget. The fixture alone is running about $170 through a discount aquarium supply house. The full hood will supply the necessary water retention. Now to find appropriate plants in the near freezing November weather. It's too late to ship tropicals, so I'll have to depend on cuttings and local nurseries for plant material. This may be such a great present that I may have to purchase one for myself. Les
