I need some help

[Wolf645]

my green tree frog in a 10 gallon tank with 50 watt baskling blub and i wanted to know how long i should leave the timer on. each day. For example: like 10 hrs a day.

Or should i use a 25 watt or 50 watt florsent bulb for now on?

Depends on the kind of temps you're reaching. I have to say, 50 watts seems like it could be too much for the summer months, but it really it comes down to the kind of temperatures being reached.

I live in maryland and right now its summer. I just need something to absord or evaporate the water to avoid mold and to keep the temp around 75. But i was going to use a 40 watt floresnt bulb all year. Or should i use a 25 for now. and how long should i keep it on daily/hourly.
