    UVB hood/bulb length for 120 gal

    Upgrading tank size to a 48x24x24. I’m reading mixed reviews on how long the uvb tube light should be. On his 36x18x18 I have a 24” hood with a 22” 10.0 uvb bulb. The lid on the new tank is mesh that works with “most uvb and heat bulbs.” So I’m assuming the hood on top of the tank will be fine...

    New to Lizards - UVB and Dividing an Enclosure for a Baby Dragon?

    Hello, I am currently a snake owner looking to get a bearded dragon. My snake doesn't need UVB so I struggle a bit to understand it with bearded dragons. I bought a 48 in L x 18 in D x 21 in H 75-gallon tank, which I realize is huge for a baby, so I want to divide it in two. As I said, I'm...

    UVB Fixture and Bulb

    Hi! My bearded dragon’s tank is 18 inches in height and 36 in length. I am upgrading him soon, but the height will remain the same. I was wondering what the best combination of UVB bulb and fixture is. I’ve used the Reptisun T5 10.0, but I’ve heard that the Arcadia might be better. I’ve...
