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.

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 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
