The 12% bulb will fit into the fixture as long as its the 24" Zoo Med -- the distance should be 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor - please have the digital probe thermometer on hand to get actual surface basking temps 95-100 for an adult -- need more help please ask

Either one will work --
Only give calcium D 3 once a week regular calcium no phosphorus 2 times a week
Is this basking bulb ok? They don't have the Arcadia one
This one ok then?
Does that one have D3 or w/ out ? https://dubiaroaches.com/products/z...thout-d3-3oz?_pos=4&_psq=calcium&_ss=e&_v=1.0
There was 2 there this one and one that said it had d3 in it
The one you posted does it have D3 in it? I posted two links for you showing what it looks like --
I put that one back and got the one that said specifically that it didn't have d3 in it. Also did you see the pic of the exoterra basking bulb? Is that one ok?
Yes that one is fine --- just make sure your getting a actual reading off the surface basking decor -- Flukers basking NO daytime bulbs are pretty good as well --
Well I'm home and everything is set up(except for the uvb cause he is still using it in his tank). Under the basking light with the probe thermometer it is only reading 91. So should I put 2 basking lights up there then?? I'm struggling with this. Ugh!!
Are you using the 150 watt? It may take another basking bulb - mine are on top of the screen so I use two on the hot side - one is a 75 watt and the other a 150 watt during the winter- the 150 will drop to 100 watt in the summer- I monitor it during the day as I work from home and they are in my office / computer room - and that room gets warm in the summer as it has good sunlight --

I did just put both of them on the top of the screen. It's almost up to 95 now. I'm putting the Arcadia 12% inside though
Putting both on top of the screen???????????? Basking bulbs? the UVB needs to go inside the tank as posted earlier - 95 is good for temp see if it goes higher - did you get another basking bulb ?
Yes both basking bulbs are on top of the screen now. It's reading 95.2. The Arcadia 12% uvb goes inside correct? 12 inches above basking?
Yes on the UVB 12-15 inches --- the 95 is good what wattage bulbs are you getting that ?
An exoterra 150watt and a zoomed 100watt
Ok is your tank on the floor? In a colder room ? The temps in the tank will reflect with the room temp--
