Is there enough light?

[Liz_Dragon]

Our year old beardie is in her new ReptiZoo 120 gallon terrarium as of today. The company advertises the thinner wire allows more UVA/UVB light through but the tank seems less light than her previous tank that had a thicker wire but bigger holes. This is closer to the screen you would have on your window.
Does anybody have any experience with these terrariums?

No I just know that screens block 30% of UVB rays and those should be in the tank distanced 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor- if your using a ReptiZoo bulb I recommend you change it out - the quality of the bulb is not very good - I would go w/ either a Reptisun 10.0 T 5 or a Arcadia 12% 24 watt bulb- those are very good bulbs - changed out every 10-11 months-
