Any one have a 75 gallon tank for their dragon ? If yes, what lighting structure do you use and brand/wattage? I'm looking into upgrading dracos current 20 gallon :/ tank within the next couple weeks. But I'm not sure what lighting I should use in it and what wattage. I'm very new to this. Any help would be great thanks.

I have a 75 gal tank. I have a mesh screen on top. If your lights will sit on top of mesh then it’s highly recommend to use Reptisun T5 HO 10. The T 8 to my understanding is mounted inside tank. I also use a 150 basking light. But I keep on hand 100 watt just in case he gets too hot. I also learned that the Reptisun is suppost to cover 2/3 of tank. However I have a split top and had to get 2 short ones and lay them end to end. Bud (my dragon) is able to get away from it on his cool side. If you would like a pic of mine will be happy to send one.
I am not expert and still learning things. I purchased Bud when he was 3 mo at Petsmart and he is healthy and happy at 15 mo!
