UVB light setup

[Wolfgirl97578]

Ok after finally getting the tank measured and finding a tank exactly like mine (the measurements are in the picture) I need help ordering the proper uvb the screen on top will not remove I've tried almost broke it so what do you recommend I get in order to have uvb go through the screen and where can I get it?

Its hard to see it but if its a fine mesh like a screen door it will need to go inside the tank if its a wide hole type it can sit on top but the basking decor piece needs to be directly under it 8-10 inches -- if you can get it inside the tank attach it w/ some thing like this even if you haft to cut some of the wire mesh https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-15-ft-Cable-Ties-Hook-and-Loop-Spool-Black-10375/304220195
this is like a Velcro strap cut into strips and wrap around the fixture
Is this a T 8 or a T 5?

So I put the uvb next to the basking bulb? sorry this is the first time handling a big uvb like this I was use to dealing with that stupid coil UVB

If you can that is optimal but if you can't do worry he/ she will go to the light he/she needs just make sure your basking decor is directly under it 8-10 inches-
