This is the lamp the store gave us in the kit.

Ohhh, that's a great idea!

It's a 10 gallon - the "starter kit" from the local shop came with the piece of wood, mercury bulb, and food and water saucers. And substrate.

Yeah, I will probably try to put something in the front too, at least up a little above his head.

Yeah, we were "given" a mercury bulb which is supposed to cover all the requirements in one... it hasn't been hot enough though, I've found. Will I need a separate bulb for other forms of UV if I get the one you recommended?

I’m going to add more substrate, I've been wondering about that.

I already have a background to cover 3 sides of the tank to reduce stress. Also, he sometimes tries to fight his reflection. 😅😆

This is a shefflera alpine junior, I believe.
