CP terraium - Plants only

I'm using a 2' 2bulb T5HO fixture that I bought from a grow shop back in boulder. I don't remember off the top of my head what the wattage is, but I can check when I get back home (probably tomorrow). I have that fixture hanging from the top shelf with the intermediates on the next shelf down (probably about 18" between), and the dews about a foot below that on the bottom shelf. I don't have any LLers, but the highlanders (including the heli and the ceph) are in terrariums on top of the top shelf. Each of those have a 40ish watt 6500k bulb above them. I wrapped the rack itself in white sheet plastic to reflect as much light as possible, and wrapped the front in clear plastic to help hold in as much humidity as possible.

If you want specific pics of any or all of it, let me know. Again, I won't be able to get them until probably tomorrow, but I'm happy to put them up if you want.

When I go to a 3 foot rack, I'll probably upgrade to a 3 foot light to compensate.
 
ur cps are getting so big!

Yeah... I'm pretty stoked with how well they're doing!


Pappy... the light is 48 watts, 4000 lumens, 6500k.
 
My crappy 24" twin tube (48w I think) was about $70 with shipping. :yuck:
Doesn't sound like such a bad deal. Are they T5? Any idea the lumen output?
 
have any of you CP addicts tried combining your plants and non-food critters in the same living/growing space? just wondering about the logistics of doing so.... and curious if anyone has tried it...
