yes...I stopped at the pet store on the way home, got the T8, and put it on for a couple hours before bed. I turned it and the basking light on before leaving for work this am.
ya, I have the T5 and its own fixture arriving. They are the size fixture and bulb that you suggested earlier...24".
Ill get a pic this evening when I get home from work.
I picked up the 20” T8 (that’s all pet store had) zoomed and zoomed hood and the 75 watt bulb
measured 102 on basking ledge.
I have a T5 coming from amazon
right now the bulb is on top of the mesh top, directly over the basking area, which is a rock ledge/platform thing.
Should I move that rock possibly, depending on temp, so he can't get as high up?
While Im here, I have not seen a thread in search, but Im actively looking for a hood or ballast...
Gotcha...thanks. I went home at lunch, snagged a 100 watt basking light and added it today and he was immediately up on the ledge, chin up towards the lamp....I assume wanting the heat.
I am getting the UVB tonight.
Thanks for the reply. Ya, Im already thinking we need a bigger tank, but I assume this one will be good for at least a month or so....maybe. I read that the T5 is stronger and with my smaller tank, it could be a bit much, however, I was thinking I could mount it on top of the mesh for now...
Hi, Im a new owner and I have been searching and reading through several posts and taking in all the info. and advice provided here. I would like to confirm that what I suspect I need to do with my current set up is correct.
I currently have a baby (maybe 2-3 mos old?) BD, 20 gal Zilla Tank...
