Now that our new 40 gallon breeder is set up with the Arcadia 12%UVB tube we’re having a hard time getting the temps up !
Along with the Arcadia we have a 100w basking bulb in a dome light above the tank as well as a 100W CHE. Even with both bulbs on, my digital probe thermometer is reading 81% in the basking area
(I ordered a temp gun for a more accurate reading but it won’t be in til Friday)
I have a 75W bulb from the smaller terrarium .. would adding that without a dimmer be too much ? I’m not sure if my thermometer is just off or if it really is that cold in there ! With just the CHE on at night it was reading 75 degrees. Confused how it would only go up 5 degrees with a 100W basking bulb
