Hey all, we are getting the reptisun t5 bulb and had some questions! First, we have a 2 month old in a 40 gallon tank with mesh top. Now I don't know the dimensions of this tank since I purchased it and the beardy from my brother.. But estimates are: the top of his basking rock/cave sits only about 4 or so inches up off the carpet, the little branch he has sits about 6-7 inches up and his suction cup vine sits about 4-5 inches from the top corner.. Give or take on all those since I haven't actually measured!
Anyway. we need to know if we mount a fixture (without a reflector) INSIDE the tank, do we go with 5.0? If we go with the Reptisun hood fixture that you can get as a set with the bulb, do we get the 10.0 so it can sit on top of the mesh? We prefer to mount it inside... but wasn't sure which option was best! Also since we have a 40 gallon, is a 24" bulb optimal? Thanks! Need answers asap to get it all ordered!
