Nice. T5's are sexy. How's the heat? How many bulbs are in that fixture? Four? Six? I think you need more plants, now.

Very nice! How long is your rack? I was actually looking for something similar, but I could only find 36" long ones. I needed 48" so the basic shop lights would fit; I'm now the proud owner of a second five tear 48" long rack.

For the future, you may want to consider adding mylar on at least the back side of the shelf (three sides would be better). I have seen a MAJOR improvement in my plants since adding mylar. Even with those sexy t5's, why waste the light if you can reflect most of it back? :)

well the heat seems to be at about 82-84 for the soil temp... so thats a bit hot. Its a 4 bulb, and yes, I think its time to get some more neps! but forst i need to find a lid for this terrarium... any suggestions?
 
Yeah those T5's are nice. I have a single T5 replaced by a double bulb T8 fixture, but I trying to find out what to do with the T5 now. :-))
 
you should add some reflective material to the back and sides of your terrarium, you are loosing a lot of light to the wall!
