UV with reds
So I remember Stells posted a while back that while having reds the enclosure did not have UV but they grew brillliantly. Has anyone else tried this then? Just interested to know-my lot have a CHE, a 100 w heat spotlamp and an Aracadia 160 W D3 Combined.

Also, there is a keeper in the US who keeps egyptians without UV but supplements highly and he's getting perfect growth-an interesting thought perhaps?
