    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Interested in ATB

Ok sorry again, lol, I'm probably getting on your guys' nerves, but I was wondering what if I ran both bulbs and got a day time one as well that way I wouldn't have to worry about spending more for a heat panel and I could also get the snakes the daytime light we are talking about. Otherwise I guess my other option would be, taking this bulb back, getting a sun light one, and a heat to keep the heat at night when I turn the sunlight one on off. The heat pad at work didn't have a way to change the temp so I wasn't sure about it.

Heat and humidity is more important than day and night. Still likes to have them, but focus more on heat and humidity.

Follow the heat pad's instructions.

On your desk should be fine, I'd worry about the window and how much sunlight will bake it or how much cool air will cool it. Just watch the temps, you'll be fine.

Perhaps someone else has some good advice on how important the day/night cycle is for an ATB.
 
Well I decided right on my desk isn't very practical right now because of the weather being so cold. The tank was around 75 degrees or a little lower... So It's moved to another part of my room which is pretty good, it'll stay warmer and I can always move it back to my desk once it gets warmer outside. (our windows aren't very insulated) I'll go check out the heat pad today and see how it goes. Yea no offense to you but I was looking for some more advice from other people, but it's all good. Thanks.

oh and I have a few days to get everything just right because I ordered them today and they'll be here on thursday
