It can work. I think that one comes with a plastic cover. If so, you want to make sure and remove it. It will need to be mounted under the screen 6-8 inches directly over the basking spot. The bulb needs to be replaced in six months. Even if it still works, the UVB output drops too low after that.

Yes as stated by smaug it will work and follow the advisement for placement - I do recommend you change the Zilla bulb out they are not as good as the Reptisun 10.0 T 8- so look for a 22" bulb - it should go right into the fixture --- if you need help getting it placed in the tank please ask or take the screen off your tank and place the fixture on one end of the tank going width wise w/ the screen butted up to the fixture so you have the basking light and UVB on one end of the tank - make sure you have the cover off the fixture and a piece of decor directly under it ---- if you have anymore questions please ask

Okay, Thank you so much we'll make sure to follow that. My beardie says thank you!

I do have one last question, Will I be able to keep this light in the tank while still having my other lights on top of the screen?

We definitely will! I'll do anything to make her live a healthy life. she eats about 25+ a day. I give her 6-8 per feeding and give her 4 feedings a day because that's the amount she seems to eat. And she is eating her greens so I think everything's looking good!
