[QUOTE="Claudiusx, post: 2011712, member: 31715"] Unfortunately you are going to need to just play around with different bulbs/types/brands until you find what works. You can definitely use halogen bulbs, but it still will be trial and error in finding the right bulb. The fixture you are using it in plays a role too, along with how much heat you are losing out of the enclosure. At 22 cents per kilowatt hour, a 150w bulb running 12 hours a day should only cost you 40 cents per day to run, or about $12 a month. A 75 watt bulb would cut that in half to $6 a month assuming you find a 75 watt bulb that works for you. If you have an open top tank, or one with screen mesh, it wouldn't hurt to drape a towel over the bulk of the exposed areas during the winter months to help keep heat in. -Brandon [/QUOTE]
