Lighting Question

DarthVaporus · Nov 11, 2017

So this may have already been answered but I am wondering. I have UVA/UVB but wanted to brighten up the opposite side of tank.

Wondering if a 5000K/1500lumen/100W LED bulb would provide a nice boost of light for my little guy? (Used in combo with the UVB and UVA lamps)

Thank you in advance for the advice.

It would probably be fine to use to give some more light. Though usually uvb tube lights go across the whole enclosure depending on size, are you using a coil or compact bulb at the moment or something else? Or is the tank just really big?

Its 30 gal i do believe for the tank, unfortunately yes, the UVB is a coil, UVA is a flood style light I got at pet store (100W). Further research on here is telling me to replace with a tube.

I have since posting this I have switched to a tube hood.
Here is a picture of the current setup
