Hmm, I guess I'm not used to Cham sizes and what not but laying out the base of my cage on the floor even the size you have blackhawk doesn't seem that big lol. Can an adult have TOO much space? Maybe 48wX36dX48t I could build? Of course then I'd likely need to get a wider light fixture and what...

So if I plan on leaving an opening the size of my light without screen, I should use a 6%? I'm thinking about getting a 4 bulb T5HO fixture that's for aquariums. I'm not sure what bulbs I should put in it though other then 1 Arcadia 6%. The fixture I'm looking at has timers and what not, I...

Yeah I was shooting for something like 24x36x48. I think I might need something a bit thicker possibly? I don't know. I wonder if the braces would be enough at that size. Wood selection at HD and Lowes kind of sucks when it comes to non construction grade lumber.

Yeah I wasn't saying it was comparable as far as needs lol, just that this seems more complicated then setting up a reef tank. This is the thread I was reading where he says a 6 bulb fixture is best? Seems like a lot though. I understand the heat lamp now though I'm not sure what I was...

Hmm, It seemed like people were using fl bulbs for heat as well? I guess I'm a bit confused! I thought lighting for salt water tanks was confusing.......

So do you think if I got a single 4 bulb T8 or T5 fixture I could pretty much take care of most of my lighting needs with different bulbs?

So you just have a single bulb fixture?

Hmm, so maybe I won't need something smaller? I think I'm going for a panther but not entirely sure. I'm quite confused on the lighting thing. I saw the one guy said to use a 6 bulb T5 fixture, and others say it's over kill, and others say to use a T8 dual bulb. Also seems to be so much...

Did you use 1x2 wood? I was looking all over HD and Lowes today and could not find any nice quality 2x2 which I've seen others use. So I got 1x2 oak. I'm going for a larger enclosure though but I think it'll still be alright with proper bracing.

That's a good idea on the divider, I may also just get one of the small premade enclosures and use that for a couple months until he's big enough for the big one. I'm not sure how old it will be I'm guessing 4ish months as I'll likely order online. Pet stores around here don't carry them and I...

I'm getting prepared and reading up on info for Chams. I'm getting ready to start building an enclosure. I wanted to just build a nice sized one that will work when it's an adult sized as well but is that ok? If I put enough crickets in there for it to eat and what not that they are all over...
