Hi there,
On a tank that size I would get a 48 inch florescent fixture for you uvb

You can run a MVB with a house hold flood light or house hold bulb.

I agree with the florescent tube. I highly recommend the ReptiSun 10.0. It has the best UVB out there on the market. Here's a link:

The ReptiGlo does not produce the best UVB output for bearded dragons. These little guys require high levels of UVB. It is difficult for me to find locally too. I order it online. If you go to the manufacturer's web site, I believe they have a listing of who their bulb was made for.
