    It's just too cute! I like your ideas for stocking it. Good question on the light, I'm watching for someone to answer that.

    That combo might not work. The two fixtures are rated at 13 and 26watts, but the bulb you want to use only comes in 10 and 20 watts, you may run into problems. I do however really like the fixture in that it has LED night time viewing. Every think about doing a full on DIY LED lighting system?

    I was also lookin at these fixtures from nanocustoms.com....

    4.1 pico light for picotope (probably be best choice for me cuz it clamps on...)

    Ok so im not sure if this ok but just to be safe i will ask,
    during the day with the light on the temp stays around 80-81
    and at night time with the heater on as low as possible it gets
    to 85, is that to much of a change?
