Update: I tried about 3 different bulbs and fixtures and found a combination that works well. It's the thrive brand 5.5 inch dome and then thrive 100 watt basking bulb. I also added a relector to my UVB so it reflects down into the tank.

Here are the temps now: basking spot is about 104F give or take, the warm area is low 90's, and then cool side is 81/82 F, at night time its 77. Just wanted to verify, are these temps good?

Yes lots better --- make sure your UVB is distance wise
T 5 top of screen - basking decor 8-10 inches directly underneath
T 5 inside tank basking decor 12-15 inches directly underneath
T 8 MUST be inside tank w/ no clear plastic cover over the bulb distance 6-8 inches basking decor directly underneath

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
