Opinions/suggestions on my CP terrarium lighting rig?

[dinomike]

 I have 2 36" T5 HO dual-lamp freshwater light fixtures providing light for my CPs. Here's the spec sheet for one of the fixtures: AquaticLife 36" T5 HO Dual -Lamp Freshwater Light Fixture spec sheet (PDF format)

 Do you all think this is good for my needs, or should I make changes?

 I'm growing 2 VFTs, 2 S. purpurea plants, 1 S. x 'Dixie Lace', 1 D. aliciae, 1 Cephalotus, 1 S. flava & a Nepenthes ventricosa x ( spectabilis x aristolochioides ). Each in its own pot & tray.

 ( I know, a number of those will outgrow a terrarium in time. This is just a temporary measure to protect them from the Grasshopper Hordes til I can have a permanent, secure outdoor growing space set up.)

 I've also got an oscillating fan putting breezes into the tank off & on during the day. I'm misting the tank at least twice a day, and have water in the bottom of the tank around the trays so it will evaporate & help with humidity.

OK, a further question. I've ordered 2 39 watt, 10000K HO T5 bulbs to go into those fixtures.

The bulbs that are currently in the fixtures are: 2 39 watt 6000K white light bulbs & 2 39W 650 nm roseate lamps. The roseate lamps are supposed to emit light in the red spectrum that plants need for growth.

My question is: What bulb mix should I use in the fixture? Are those roseate lamps doing my plants much good, or would I be better off using the 2 10000K white bulbs along with the 2 6000K white bulbs?
