So Black Friday is coming up and my store is going to have a great deal on a 75 gallon aquarium and stand. And there's a tiny chip on the outside edge of one so I'll be able to save even more money (it's looking like it's gonna be around $200 for the kit.) But I wanna see if everyone thinks my ideas are safe for Pancake.
I really hate lids so first off, would it be safe to leave the top open? The tank is 21 inches tall and I would have the UVB light mounted inside with command hooks and the basking spot at around 15 inches.
The tank also comes with LED lights and if I used a CHE with the UVB bulb, would it be okay to use the LEDs as visible light? Or would it be better to use a white light instead of a CHE?
I was reluctant about using a glass tank since they don't hold in heat but I can't really argue with the price. Is it even a good deal or should I save up for another enclosure or build my own?
Tank 21" high, 48" wide, 18" deep
Stand 29" high, 50" wide, 20" deep
