I am sorry your tube bulb keeps breaking. How are you mounting it in
the tank? Can you show pictures of the tank setup so we can see how it
is sitting on or in the tank, or hanging?

Thanks for the infoCooperDragon":2nzz1wd0 said:If you're replacing the fixture it might make sense to get a T5 so you have higher output. The T8 is only effective at about 6-8'' while a T5 is stronger and optimal at about 12-14'' or so. You usually need to order them online. http://www.lightyourreptiles.com/22-t-5-ho-fixture-high-output-with-arcadia-d3-12-ho-bulb/
To answer your question, I've used the Zilla slimline fixture for an 18'' T8 and it has worked well. Just be sure to remove the clear plastic in front of the bulb because it will intercept all of the UVB.

And which hood works best with the Reptisun 10.0 18" tube?
