A amyemiline Hatchling Member Mar 24, 2016 #1 I am trying to order an Arcadia tube uvb lamp for my Dragon. He is in a 40 gallon breeder tank with a MVB right now. Im unsure of which Arcadia lamp to order. They have a Arcadia D3+ HO t5 14% UVB Dragon Lamp or a Arcadia D3+ T-5 22 Inch 24 Watt *12% Desert UVB?

CooperDragon BD.org Sicko Staff member Moderator Mar 24, 2016 #2 The 14% lamps are pretty new as far as I know and are quite high output. In a 40g breeder I'd say it's overkill. The 22'' T5 12% should fit the bill nicely. That will produce optimal basking levels of UVB at around 12-14'' above the basking area.
