I'm getting a headache from trying to figure out my uvb situation with my setup. As you can see I have a 120 gallon 4x2x2 foot enclosure, I decided to go with a 10.0 reptisun bulb housed in a t8 dome. Apparently this bulb only has 20" of uvb penetrarion, but I'm hearing that there are some people that use these just fine on top of their 120 gallon enclosures (despite them being 24" tall with mesh. I've also been told I should get a t5 dome instead, would this change the uvb penetration? I use some repti-zoo uvb sensor cards to test out the uvb at different ranges and it looks like they detect uvb at 24".
Any advice from experienced BD owners would be appreciated.
