So I need to increase the amount of light in my mud turtle's aquarium because she has quit eating. Her temperatures are plenty warm: 80* everywhere in the tank.
But I need to trick her into thinking it's summer so she'll eat.
I have 2 fluorescent UVB bulbs in a 24" long fixture, and a 25 watt Soft White incandescent bulb in a shop light sitting on the top of the screen on her tank. I was thinking of getting a higher wattage incandescent, but may have to raise it up a bit if it increases the temperature of the tank...
So then I wondered if LED lights wouldn't be BRIGHTER with less heat. Thoughts???
