Zeus' new tank

I do believe it's a 55 gallon deep tank

Thats a cool way to set up the lights. Nice job! What bulbs do you have in the four fixtures?

 

[Zeus_the_nogard]

I have two 100 watt black heat lights on the ends
A 150 watt basking/UVB light and a 75 watt UVB light above his branch

They make 55 gallon deep?!? I looked up a chart of aquarium sizes and there wasn't a 55 deep..... Or i would have hunted one of those down instead of 40g breeder!

It's pretty deep for a tank I assume?
My neighbor Has had it for a long time
I'm on a payment plan for it lol
Only 100$

Wow... Maybe it's custom. Are you sure it's not a 75 maybe?

 

[Zeus_the_nogard]

I've got no clue
It's huge
1/4 " glass
Bout 18-20" high
I'll get a measurement here in a few

 

[Zeus_the_nogard]

It's 18x21x48

 

[stinax182]

Yup, 75!

Interesting. I didnt know there were 75 watt UVBs. What brand is that? Also, with that nice spread of lights, Id recommend ditching the black lights and just using regular halogen flood lights. These are sun loving animals, so anytime you can provide more light, thats great. "Black" lights produce a really weird type of lighting for them, so the closer you can get it to visible light, the better it is.

I understand that
But as I've said in other posts it's gonna have to do until I can get some ordered

And my crap apartment doesn't hold heat so it gets cold at night
Usually I put planks of wood over the top of his tank to keep the heat in
The UVB was from my neighbor
Wether it's 75w or not I don't have a clue
He's had this set up for over three months and has been perfectly fine so I'm not too worried about going broke right now to get him the best stuff
