Hello,
Thanks for helping out, Karrie.
Your tank setup looks good, so with the few changes you are making things should help him
out a lot.
The Zilla 50 tropical series tube bulb is ok, but you will eventually want to upgrade to a better
UVB because this particular one is not real strong. The T5 tube bulbs are the best & do last
quite a bit longer with stronger UVB emissions.
Be sure this light is mounted on the underneath side of your screen, directly alongside of the
basking bulb.
As suggested, a digital probe thermometer is best for reading the temperatures. Be sure to
leave the probe in one place at the basking area for about 15-20 minutes to allow for it to fully
warm up etc & measure accurately.
Let us know how things are going.
