Hi everyone! I’m planning to get this Exo Terra tank for a pair of small thumbnail dart frogs. It won't be a paludarium; I’m going for a standard vivarium setup with a drainage layer and substrate.
I’m stuck on which LED to choose. I want something that promotes healthy plant growth and keeps red plants vibrant, but I’d like to avoid the plants growing too fast.
My options are:
Arcadia Jungle LED (2500lm)
Compact Top + E27 LED (2000lm)
Compact Top + E27 LED (1500lm)
Which would you choose? Or do you have another recommendation?

I really like my thrive ecosystems and Arcadia Lumenize Jungle dawn lights. Thumbnails especially appreciate the sunrise and sunset timers
I would strongly advise against purchasing the new generation of exo Terra terrariums, ESPECIALLY for thumbnails.
Here’s a good thread that discusses the design flaws in regard to dart frog terrariums. https://www.dendroboard.com/threads/exo-terra-pro-enclosures.372637
Get some lights from jungleleaves.de
They have several good options for this setup
That enclosure is too small even for a pair and an Arcadia is a nice light but probably overkill for that size of tank.
