New 6x2x2 lighting help.

[Mike37130]

So I just upgraded my bearded dragons enclosure to a 6x2x2. Supposedly the screen on top let's through 80% of the light. I am curious if my T5 HO 10.0 uvb it's okay on top of the screen or should I purchase a lamp for under the screen. The light will be 22 in from the basking spot. Also should add I'm using two basking lights. A 150 w and a 100 watt. Basking temps are perfect with that setup. Pictures included. It's a little empty right now because I'm waiting on to enclosure decor to come in

The natural light will be nice but the T 5 should be in the tank- 12-15 inches directly above the basking decor- the screen is going to block to much of the uvb rays---

Yeah i did some reading and found that even if the screen let in 100% of the light it still wouldn't be enough. I went ahead and ordered a Carolina Custom Cages Reptile 46 inch T5 light fixture. It will be longer then my current one and mounted under the screen.

You can also look into the Arcadia 14%. It's more suited for further distances than the 12%.
