need some help.
I have 2 new jungles coming. only small, about 1-1.5m. I have got an old tv cabinet i'm converting. Its dimensions are 800H 900W 450D, so its not huge, but will be OK.
I'm tossing up between globes/ceramics or a radiator (habistat 75w). Problems are:
because of the encl size, if I use globes, by the time I create a wire space, put globes in, cover with globe covers etc, I will be decreasing the space of the encl that I have to play with. The shelf under the lights would in effect be half way down the side. This would then create the other side litterally being the higher and possibly more prefferred end.
Now if I go with the radiator, this will give me more space, and i'll be able to have my shelf under the heat further up the wall, but will it heat the eclosure to the limits i'm after. Ive researched and read up on them, and people have said they tend not to pump out the heat in large areas depending on your ambient temps. But as this enclosure is reasonably small anyway???
Has anyone had these issues before , and what did u do / outcomes. Please offer me your thoughts. That would be great.
Cheers
Colby
