Will do. I just found an aquarium that is 36"x12.5"x16".

How are you providing lights for the terrarium?
I am considering the following options:
Hydrofarm CFL - 125 W Daylight fixture and bulb for lighting. I thought it'll be too much for the plants. I wanted to hang them a foot above the terrarium. But My terrarium will be in a special place and getting the light to hang needs hooks up the ceiling and other things.

100W CFL - Screw-in types bulbs: Wondering whether I could go to Walmart and buy a couple of the screw-in type CFL 100 W Daylight bulbs and set-up a light fixture will two bulb holders and set them up just on top of the Terrarium.

Could you give me your opinion? The plants are all medium light plants. I am looking at 2000 fc light level.

Greatly appreciate your thoughts.
