I'm building a stack of Base-Tank-Hood-Tank-Hood out of 3/4" birch ply for my daughters 2 beardies, 1M, 1F, each around 16 months old.
(2) 4'*2'*2' tanks, (1) 4'*1'*2' base and (2) 4'*1'*2' hoods (7' tall)
Not seeing Mercury Vapor bulbs discussed much, I'm looking at a 100w clear lucky herp MV UVB for each tank during the day, along with some form of constant radiant heat, the room they're going to be in is low 60's. I'll have room for one more light, likely just a daytime/plant bulb. They're moving from a warmer upstairs room with a smaller tank, so I'll just be replacing everything as far as lighting and heating go.
Does this sound like an appropriate starting point for lighting and heating?
How far from the 100W MV bulb should the basking spot optimally be?
