The T 5 fixture is a 24 inch. But I might have to get a new lid for the tank because the lid now has plastic divisors? That would obstruct the UVB with the T 5 fixture right? Waiting on my sons physical therapy appt to finish and getting a new bulb to add for basking.

It must be a fine screen cuz I can't see the holes so w/ that being said it's going to need to go inside the tank--- I have things you can post w/ if you need them let me know- the UVB needs to be 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor piece

I got the metal screen lid at pet supermarket just now. Should be good. Will post more when the t 5 finally comes in!
