Aquarium to overwinter Neofinetias? Male
Default Aquarium to overwinter Neofinetias?

Hello,
I recently have been bitten by the Neo bug and was trying to develop a way to view them in the winter. Let me explain. I live in NC, USA, zone 7b. Eight months out of the year I can grow outside and I overwinter my plants the other 4 months in a small hobby greenhouse. The problem is that my greenhouse is packed with plants in the winter and not the best for viewing minis. So I thought about converting an aquarium into a place for my Neos. for the winter. I don't have a big Neo collection (4 plants right now) so I think that a 10 gallon aquarium would work. The first question is how much lighting would be needed? Two T8s enough or possibly LEDs (never used LEDs before). I plan to water outside of the tank so the plants could sit on wet gravel or crating. Would I need to cover the tank to keep the humidity up perhaps using with a small computer fan for air exchange. Could also use a humidifier if need be but i thought that might be overkill. Please let me know your thoughts.
