I just took a couple infared temperature gun readings (Pro Exotics hand help model: E2) with frickin' red lazer....
anyhoo....
A TINY Zoomed - 12" X 12" X 18"...or @ 11 Gallons, then minus the false bottom and heavily terraced substrate. Heavliy planted and directly under 4 T-12 commercial "plant / aquarium bulbs" that throw off a good bit of heat.
The tippy top leaves of Broms and upper "canopy" plants read: 85-86F in some places with an average of 81F
The lower substrate nears rock edges and under wood overhangs, sheltered from the light read: 77 - 75F
Ambiant Frog RoomTemps are @ 79F for that level that the vivs in question are situtated.
Interesting (at least to me).
