I would stick with overhead lighting for 10 gallons. I recommend 8-1/2"
reflector lamps, you will have to experiment with light bulbs to get the
desired
86-88F in one end. Heat tape is problematic with the type of set-up you
describe. If you want to breed several leopards, get a rack system and go to
32
quart Rubbermaids or an equivalent - you can use heat tape safely in this
type
of set-up.

Hi-
This sounds like a good use for the 5 pack of 20 watt halogen bulbs.
I was just looking at buying them myself, and I believe Greg C. uses these,
so maybe he could tell us alittle about them?
I was curious how hot the spot gets at a distance of say 8" in a ten gallon?
Any idea?
And what is the max distance between the bulbs? is it 2 feet? Can you run
them in a straight line 10 feet long, with a bulb every two feet?
These seem perfect for tight fits like cabinets, and they reduce the space
needed by about 8" heightwise.
Thanks
Jason
