Hey everyone,
I have been toying with the idea of switching my beardie over to bioactive for more enrichment and fun. Everything is set up, I am just giving the new tank (36x18x18 Exo Terra) some time to develop first before putting him in there.
The only thing that is stumping me is lighting. I have his UVB (34" T5 HO) and basking bulb sitting on top of his cage (unobstructed from mesh). As well as a CHE for night time to keep his immune system up since he was sick. But when I switch him over to bioactive I will have to add a grow light for plants as well. And its already so full of lights and fixtures.
Which do you think would work out better, a double bulb fixture to tidy everything up to include the UVB and grow light http://www.lightyourreptiles.com/36...arcadia-12-and-6-5k-day-light-bulbs-included/ or a dedicated grow light like the jungle dawn? https://www.lightyourreptiles.com/arcadia-jungle-dawn-led-bar-18-5-22-watts/
Also, do you think this is too much light? I feel like its pretty excessive with UVB, Basking, and Grow light for his eyes.
Here is a pic of his current set up: https://imgur.com/a/76mWHkg on top.
