    Looks awesome man. Did you go with the fluorescent lights, or the LED's? I'm thinking about getting one of these for my first BP... and I want to do it right the first time, but I'm getting anxious. I will be getting the divider and only using half of the tank to start with. I'd love to hear how you setup your heat once you're all done.

    I went with the leds. Leds compared to fluorescents are more energy efficient. I love them, the light is perfect, not to bright either. As for heat, I went with a rhp from pro products. Had it shipped straight to AP and they installed it for me. Im running a herpstat to maintain a 90 degree hot side and a 80 degree cool side. The cage itself is amazing, superb quality! Its on sale right now for 150 too! Id go this route the first time out. I was going to go the glass aquarium root but after being on this sight and getting advice from everyone, I decided to go all in the first time. So worth it.
