How to set up a PVC cage (AP T8) With Pictures!

$40.
I only found out about it when I realized that since one of my T8's was going to be divided, I would need 2 of the fluorescent fixtures for it (one on each side of divider). When I emailed back to change my order the woman suggested the LED strip because it would light both sides and cost the same as 2 fluorescent fixtures (and fit above the divider). I didn't realize it wasn't an option on their website until you said so. I figured I just missed it.
I just noticed that my invoice says "LED lighting (WHITE)". Maybe that means they have other color options if you're interested. Might be worth asking when you order.

Re: How to set up a PVC cage (AP T8) With Pictures!
The APC T8's are on their "quick ship" list. Accessories ordered with them are also included as quick ship items. "Quick" is a relative term though. It's just quick in comparison to their usual build and ship times. I ordered on Sept 16 and received most of my order 3 and a half weeks later. I'm still waiting on the sliding doors and door locks. The sealant hasn't quite cured yet and I got shipping notification that they'll be here Monday so it's no big deal.
I'm not complaining. They disclose their build/shipping times on their site before you order. I just want to give anyone thinking about ordering from them a heads up. Especially if it's going to be part of a Christmas gift.

Here's the LED light on with the partition installed in the lower cage.

Ali at APC said they offer white, red, or blue LED light strips. Maybe multi colored in the future. They use 8mm strips so if you're going to put your own in, the channel they cut is for an 8mm strip.
She also said they have a new website under construction and the LED option will be listed there.

Wassup boss. So does the Radiant heat panel come with the t8? and how does it look? would i have to do any adjusting to get the dividers to fit? also how did you exactly place the probes on the flexwatt, the Heat panel, and the thermometers.
~Thanks

Radiant heat panels you have to order separate. Pro products will ship the right sized RHP right to animal plastics. It is white and only about an inch thick. It would be placed where you wanted it, on the left or right side.

Oh and the probe for the thermostat should be halfway between the panel and the floor of the cage. I don't have flexwatt so I'm not sure about where to put the probe for that. I have a problems thermometer on the cool side, but the cool side is where I would have the probe anyways.

Re: How to set up a PVC cage (AP T8) With Pictures!
For those with the florescent lights, is the hole for the light cord big enough for a juvie to get through? Or is it sealed up some way to prevent escapees?

The hole won't be that big. They are pretty good about cutting holes just big enough for wires. I had to make a hole bigger to be able to fit two cords through it instead of one.

Re: How to set up a PVC cage (AP T8) With Pictures!
So I have a couple questions about the T8 or just AP in general. When place an order for one of their cages and you tell them you want holes and other things drilled in without have to say purchase the light fixture? No reading the the RHP FAQ on reptile basics website says on use the 40 watt RHP for a 2'x4' cage if your room stays above 75F+. My room generally during the winter months stays around 65 to 70 degrees so would I need the 80 watt?
