I need help with UVB lighting

[Trinity]

Hey guys so question about lighting for bearded dragons. I have a 50 gallon tank and I'm going to buy a linear florescent light bulb, which t5 fixture would be best for uvb.

Buy a UVB bulb, and since it sounds like it will be mounted on top of the tank I would go with an Arcadia 12%. Get a fixture that is around 2/3 length of the tank. How long is your 50?

 

[Trinity]

It is 36" and I was thinking about get a 24" light fixture.

 

[Tabasco]

That will work!

 

[Trinity]

Sweet thank you! What basking light would you recommend?

That will work!

 

[Tabasco]

What is the distance from top to basking spot?

 

[Trinity]

About 51/2"

 

[Tabasco]

Depends on material, but I would guess a 25w mini from zilla would work. Might have to incrase distance. Get a temp gun, you want 108 degrees on surface.

Okay thank you
