Okay, so, my leaf chameleon tank that Jen and I built ages ago was starting to look kind of crummy. Like, half the plants were dead because somehow I can keep animals alive just fine but plants are beyond me, and all in all it just looked kind of...bad. And empty of plants.

The bulb is a Repti-sun 5.0 fluorescent, which is what the *chameleons* need (they are more important than the plants, after all). But it should also be fine for growing plants.
