I just got out of reef keeping, a hobby that consumed me to varying degrees for the past 8 to 10 years. One of my focuses with that hobby was adequate lighting. I was wondering if anyone here uses T5HO or metal halides (6500k) for their indoor enclosures.
I am also wondering how you guys keep the humidity up in your tank with lighting. I am under the impression that UV rays are blocked by glass and most plastics. I haven't researched it enough but would like some advice. I'm in the process of setting up a 40g breeder and I plan on keeping it mostly covered to increase the humidity.
When I owned dart frogs I also had small 12v fans setup in the tank to circulate air. Has anyone messed with this yet? I'm concerned about stagnant air issues.
Thank you for the information.
