New, Need help with small tank setup

[PitOnTheProwl]

I'm not sure where you got your information about the red/black bulbs bother them, but you're wrong. I'm assuming you mean the black bulbs as in like moon glow and stuff. Now as far as a black light black light that makes stuff glow, then yea, I'm not sure if that bothers them or not. I'd probably lean more towards yes, but that bulb doesn't put out heat anyways, or not much if I remember from when I was a kid and owned one.

Neal there is also a "black" heat light.............. looks purple to me though LoL

Yeah, the night bulb I have definitely looks purple. I kept wondering when about it when everyone was saying blue and red... I suppose it would be considered blue.

I thank all of you for helping me (and I'm sure I'll have plenty more questions to come lol). I'm going to be having shoulder surgery soon and I'd like to get it all perfect and have her home before it goes down. Then I'll have several months to stay home and get to know her. I'm very excited.

I use black lights in both my set ups and they keep the tanks a little less hot than reg day bulbs do NAND there the same watts,a few degrees difference,maybe 2-3

Black lights and the heat light are two different bulbs.
