Hey there, so currently I have been using a Reptisun 10.0 T8 bulb. Its the 18" and its mounted inside the tank about 10 inches from the basking spot. My beardie has been pretty lethargic and not eating very much. He has been to the vet who did x-rays and didn't see signs of MBD but I am wondering if the UVB hasn't been enough. After doing some more research I found that the T5 is actually suppose to be the superior bulb. So the question is, is the difference between the T5 and T8 enough to warrant the cost of the new lighting setup? And if I do, can I mount it in the same place with only 10 inches to the basking spot or is that too close for the larger 22" T5? The tank itself is a 40 gallon breeder.
Thank you
Thank you
