As I work towards assembling my habitat I find questions as often of as answers, the latest deals with the importance of natural day/night periods and how best to maintain them. I've already got the light figured out but I'm not sure about the best way to control it. I could just do it manually but with my erratic schedule that's going to be rather inconsistent. Logically some type of programmable timer is in order. I do wonder though if it would be better to use a 12 on 12 off period or an astronomic timer that matches the natural sunrise/sunset times depending on the date. I'm going to be housing adult Eastern Newts, but I'd be curious to know the type of lightning controls and periods others have found successful. What do you use to light your habitat and how do you control it?
