A T5 5.0 is similar in strength to the T8 10.0 bulb and has an optimal output at approximately 6-8'' when using a reflector.

i was curious about this thread because i just got the t5 10.0 22 inch. I was told to put it down into the enclosure due to the fact that i have a 40 gallon 18 inches tall, and fine mesh screen. I noticed you mounted the same hood into yours upside down? did that work out for you CooperDragon saw it and seemed to be ok with it so Cooperdragon should i also do that? and what should i use because i dont ever want it falling on Freyja? i want it to be as effective as possible!

I ended up using wire and hanging directly from the screen top.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
