I've had my beardie for a few years now, but I have been saving up to hopefully upgrade his tank a little bit.

I've had the same light fixtures above the terrarium since we've had him- but I'd like to get him some better basking, nighttime, and UVB fixtures because mine are fiddly to replace and I don't believe the gradient is as well as it could be. I'd also like to get better thermometers and hygrometers.
I was hoping that I could get a few specific recommendations (possibly with links, but that isn't necessary) for my worries that won't break the bank to buy.
Edit: I have a 40 gallon tank

I am also open to any other suggestions regarding setups.
Also, if there are any good vitamins that you use, it would be appreciated if you listed them, too <3

Thank you <3

Tanks
www.zenhabitats.com
www.dubiaroaches.com I dont like the black
www.symtonbsf.com same its black
https://carolinadesignerdragons.com/ made of glass and too heavy I dont like the UVB attached to the basking bulb makes it too hard to adjust surface basking temps
https://www.diycages.com/ dont know of anyone w/ this tank
https://talkingserpents.com/ dont know of anyone w/ this tank
Your going to want a 24" fixture like these
https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/en...v-b-kit-65058.html?cgid=500114&fmethod=Browse you need the 24 watt 12% bulb
this one 2 ft or 24" you will need to replace the bulb w/ a Reptisun 10.0 T 5 bulb
or this one comes w/a 5.0 bulb you need to get the Reptisun 10.0 T 5 as well for this fixture
https://www.pangeareptile.com/colle...o-med-reptisun-t5-hood?variant=26907425734756
A ceramic heat emitter for winter time - you will need a dome w/ a ceramic socket it can sit on top of screen
Basking bulbs you will need a digital probe thermometer 2 of them to get the correct surface basking temps 95-100 - this will determine the wattage needed
1 digital probe hygrometer placed on the center back wall of the tank
here is an example https://dubiaroaches.com/products/exo-terra-digital-hygrometer?_pos=1&_sid=ac857912b&_ss=r
Basking bulbs -- Flukers basking -- Exo Terra Intense -- Arcadia Halogen
Hope this helps
