Any advice is greatly appreciated! I have posted a few times and have always
gotten excellent advice here!

<<  there is very little direct sunlight. Does anyone know
what kind of artificial light that I can hang from the ceiling for my pond
plants. And will artificial light be ok for my lilies, lotus, etc.? All of my
plants are getting eaten by the grasshoppers so I would like to move them into
the greenhouse now instead of winter, and possibly keep some there year round.

You need what are called "gro-lites".  Check with nursery suppliers.  But be
prepared for possible inquiries from the govt., because people grow illegal
substances inside with large banks of these lights as well!

I use a 300 watt halogen (too high heat to be left unattended) over my 35
gallon pond in my living room, but it does get some morning sun. How about
some sky lights? :o) ~ jan

I do have two skylites in the barn and plan to add a few more, but it still is
not going to be enough direct sun because of the trees. The walls are
practically all glass now because of the windows we have added, but it's still
not enough. I was thinking of just covering the ceiling with a lot of the gro
lights or whatever. I really don't want them*** way down close to the
plants. So, that's the story. I'm kinda stuck on what to do.
Thanks for any and all advice.
