Hi all,

I'm putting together my shopping list of gear to order this weekend and I was just wondering what wattage of ceramic I should get. I'm going to be getting a 36" viv so I was thinking 100w. Is that too much/little/just right?

Thanks!

I use 150 Watts in a 6 foot vivarium with success so it will be more than adequate for anything below that.

all 5 vivs running 150w. I did see a guide on which ceramic bulb to use for certain sizes of vivs, but can't find it now
my viv dimensions are 3'x 2'x 2' (or 12 cubic ft depending how you prefer)
