exo Terra 36x18x18 light question

slowhite03 · 03-06-14, 04:48 PM

So I just upgraded from a 40 gallon breeder to a exo Terra 40 gallon, my question for those who have this tank is what do you use for light fixtures? I have a 8" dome light but with the way the lid is split up I don't think that would work. Can you guys show me a pic of your lighting setup and where you got them? Thanks in advance

24" T8 with a plant grow bulb from homedepot. Everything is still alive, a few showing good growth after a few months.

Does that go on the outside? I looked on there website and no
Me of those looked like they would work. I don't want them on the inside

I just had a standard heat light with I think a six inch lamp so it fit in between the pieces of plastic, and a tube style uvb that rested on top,

On the outside, the actual fixture is a t8 aquarium fixture. Only the bulb is from homedepot, and I sit it right on top.
